The "final solution" was not a single event, but rather a program of genocide against Jews. Its full nomenclature was the "final solution to the Jewish problem." This term was the euphemism used by Nazi leaders so that they would not have to use such unacceptable words as "genocide," "killing," or "murder" which would imply that they were committing crimes. They were, of course, but they didn't want to see it that way. If it can be said that the final solution took place anywhere, the most likely locations would be the many concentration camps that the Nazis established, although Jews were also often shot at remote and isolated places outdoors, wherever they were found from France to the eastern boundaries of Germany's expansion into Russia. In particular, see Babi Yar-nearly 34,000 Jews were shot and left in a ravine outside Kiev over two days in September 1941.
