The Nazis built scores of concentration across German occupied Europe. The two most famous camps used in the Holocaust were Auschwitz and Dachau. Auschwitz is famous for sheer size and for starving, brutally beating, and in many cases, killing through the used of pesticide zyklon-b and then burning the Jewish corpses in ovens. Hundreds of thousands of Jews and others died in this Nazi concentration camp in German occupied Poland. Dachau was a concentration camp in Germany where most German Jews were sent. Thousands were murdered there mostly through starvation, and the Death Rate was much lower Auschwitz

what did people think of the holocaust that was reported during world war two?
About 11-17 million people died in the Holocaust (depending on the definition of Holocaust used). Unfortunately, there are competing definitions.It was actually the mass murder of six million Jews.There is no agreed definition of Holocaust survivor.Please see the related questions below.
There is some confusion here. There is no war that historians call 'The Holocaust War'. The Holocaust (Nazi genocide of the Jews) took place during World War 2, but World War 2 was not about the Holocaust. The two are distinct, though related. Please see the related questions.
The word is hardly used. It means 'killing Jews' (on a large scale) and is occasionally used instead of Holocaust. The term judeocide is associated in particular with the work of Arno Mayer, a well known historian, who is keen to demystify the Holocaust and who has misgivings about Holocaust remembrance, which he regards as a cult.
