The Holocaust in the sense of the systemtatic extermination (genocide) of the Jews lasted from 1941-45.
Obviously, ever since Hitler came to power in 1933, Jews had been persecuted, first in Germany and then in the various countries annexed and invaded by Germany. Important 'milestones' on the road to the Holocaust include the establishment of ghettos where Jews were forced to live in intolerable conditions (Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow).
___
The Nazis started putting people in camps as early as 1933. Many people died in those camps before the "Final Solution" was developed. Those earlier years should be included. We should also include other targeted groups such as Gypsies, Slavs, the mentally retarded, and political prisoners.
___
Well, if you're going to include 'putting people in camps', then it was plain, ordinary persecution - like in Pinochet's Chile - and the word 'Holocaust' is just a melodramatic redundancy. In other words the last answer is profoundly wrong.
The "Final Solution" was conceived by the Nazi's during WW2 which ended in 1945. It is hard to say exactly when the Holocaust started. It started slowly in the 1930's with more and more restrictive regulations for the Jews, etc. No one was getting killed, but the victims were being isolated from the rest of the population, making them easier to deport and kill later. Most historians date the actual genocide of the Jews from 1941-45.
In terms of the large-scale, routine execution of people in camps and by mobile killing units (Einsatzgruppen), the Holocaust lasted from 1941-1945.
Since the Holocaust ended (approx. 1945), it has been 63 years. Since the Holocaust has begun (approx. 1938-1939), it has been 70 years.
