The Nazi persecution of the Jews had almost nothing to do with religion. It was about 'race' and 'the Jewish spirit' (whatever that is).

Why were Jewish people persecuted by Hitler's regime?
Hitler and the Nazis were responsible for what later came to be called the "Holocaust" (a term not in common use when the mass murders were taking place). During the Holocaust, there was mass extermination of Jews (as well as, to a lesser but still important degree, Gypsies, people with disabilities, and political dissenters). This was what Hitler called the "Final Solution," since he believed (and many Germans went along with his belief) that all of Germany's problems should be blamed on the Jews, who only made up perhaps 5% of Germany. Among the places where Jews were murdered were gas chambers and concentration camps. These included Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Six million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis: men, women, children, infants--just because they were Jews. While many of us find it is amazing that such a question could be asked today, it is sad to note that in some parts of the world (especially in some Muslim countries), it is typically taught that the Holocaust never happened, even though there is a massive amount of documentation for what the Nazis did. There are also some Americans who persist in believing the Holocaust never happened. Such people are called "Revisionists" or "Holocaust Deniers."

What do Jews believe about the Holocaust?
The Holocaust happened. Jews know it, the Germans know it, and all serious international scholarship knows it. The Nazis kept records, including film. The Allied forces saw the horror of the concentration camps when they invaded. The Warsaw Ghetto is also on film.Answer:I don't think there's a specifically Jewish "belief" about the Holocaust. As implied in the above answer, the events of the Holocaust are not a matter of belief; they are facts. The mass graves are still there. Several million names and records of Holocaust victims are extant in searchable lists. A number of the death camps, crematoria and all, still stand. And hundreds of thousands of people who witnessed the Holocaust are still among us today. Note: Many groups, especially in the Islamic World, like to cast Jewish defense and passion towards defending the historicity of the Holocaust as a religious belief. The motive for this recasting is because then they can claim that it is false and only surviving because Jews "are not letting people scrutinize their beliefs". However, the evidence of the Holocaust is so overwhelming that even without the millions of documents that Nazis burned before the Concentration Camps were retaken by the Allies, the Holocaust is probably the most documented crime against humanity to have ever occurred.
