The “Final Solution”After the June 1941 German

invasion of the Soviet Union, SS and police units (acting as mobile killing units) began

massive killing operations aimed at entire Jewish communities

In its entirety, the "Final Solution" called for the murder of all European Jews by gassing, shooting, and other means. Approximately

six million Jewish men, women, and children were killed during the Holocaust -- two-thirds of the Jews living in Europe before

World War II

Concentration Camps were liberated by soviet and american troops in 1945
