During WWII, between 16 and 20 million people were killed in concentration and labour camps by German Nazis and their allies.
About 6 million of these victims were Jews.

The Nazis deliberately set out to exterminate all Jews in Europe; this is known as the Holocaust.
Jews were imprisoned, starved, forced to do heavy manual labour, medically experimented on, tortured, and killed.
The Jewish population of Europe was reduced from 9.5 million to 1.6 million in just 12 years.
