The Holocaust was the genocide of the Jews and others during [[World War II]] by the Nazi government of Germany, which played on widely held anti-Semitic sentiments. In addition to the genocide of six million Jews, many millions of Christians, Gypsies, disabled persons, Gays and Lesbians, Communists and other political opponents were also exterminated.

=== Criticism ===
<HR>
Many notable historians deny that the Holocaust took place, including [[Richard Harwood]], [[Bradley Smith]] and [[David Irving]]. These historians have been persecuted for simply stating their beliefs by the backers of [[Israel]].
Iranian President [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]] claims that is a "myth" designed to protect [[Israel]].[http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/12/14/iran.israel/]
Even if it did happen, the number of Jews exterminated was far fewer than the six million estimate.[http://hnn.us/articles/1414.html]
