The Final Solution & The Holocaust: Endlösung der Judenfrage

Welcome to TIME PRINTER where we explore the remarkable events of TIME.
Today we will focus on the Holocaust that was the Genocide of European Jews during World War II between 1941 and 1945.
Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.
The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor and Chełmno in occupied Poland.
After the June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, SS (The black-uniformed elite corps and self-described political soldiers) and police units (acting as mobile killing units) began massive killing operations aimed at entire Jewish communities.
By autumn 1941, the SS and police introduced mobile gas vans. These paneled trucks had exhaust pipes reconfigured to pump poisonous carbon monoxide gas into sealed spaces, killing those locked within. They were designed to complement ongoing shooting operations.
On July, 1941 Hitler gave Heinrich Himmler (SS chief) broad authority to physically eliminate any perceived threats to permanent German rule.
Two weeks later, on July 31, 1941, Nazi leader Hermann Goering authorized SS General Reinhard Heydrich to make preparations for the implementation of a "Final solution of the Jewish question”.
The Holocaust ended in May 1945 when the major Allied Powers (Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union) defeated Nazi Germany in World War II.
