Holocaust victims
Genocide's dead millions
Holocaust victims are the people killed or persecuted during the Nazi genocide of World War II—primarily six million Jews, along with Roma, disabled people, homosexuals, political prisoners, and others targeted for extermination.
The term appears in historical documentation, memorial contexts, and discussions of reparations: The museum honors Holocaust victims with a wall of photographs.
