When the Holocaust started and ended?

Answer 1

The Holocaust began on Dec.8, 1941 in Chelmno and ended on May 9, 1945.

___

The Holocaust took place from 1941 to 1945. Under Adolf Hitler. After Hitler's armies began to take over neighboring countries, a "final solution" to the "Jewish question" was formulated. This plan produced the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were murdered. At death camps, Jews were forced to labor until they had exhausted their strength. Those too old, young, or feeble to work were killed in specially built gas chambers; their bodies were then cremated. ___

The systematic mass murders began in 1941. One can take the Holocaust back to the Kristallnacht, but most historians confine to the "Final Solution". (Until mid 1941 Jews were able to leave Germany and Nazi occupied territory, if they could find somewhere to go to).
1. Regular mass gassings started at Chelmno on 8 December 1941. 2. The Wannsee Conference, which co-ordinated the various agencies involved in the Holocaust - the SS, the German railways, the ordinary police, etc. - took place on 20 January 1942.

Answer 2

the holocaust started 1938, and then it ended 1945. Don't you think it is sad that it even lasted that long?,the holocaust ended when the red army(Russian army) arrived in Poland,1952 freeing all the Jews who had survived.

----------------------------------------

The start and end dates are not fixed. There is a general consensus that it started in June 1941 with the invasion of the Soviet Union, when there were the first orders to seek and destroy certain groups.

But it can be argued that it started in September 1939 with the start of WWII. Also some would say that any Jew killed by the Nazis was a victim of the Holocaust. There are others who would argue that all victims of the Nazis were victims of the Holocaust. These would make the start date to be 1933 or before. But the summer of 1941 is the best date.

The end date is a little more simple. It is generally put at the date of the Nazi surrender. But many victims died after this date due to the treatment received and it would be harsh not to count them as victims of the Holocaust. There are some prominent historians who say that the Holocaust has not ended until the last victim has died, as their lives are still affected by their experiences. But the Nazi surrender is the best date.
