The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the mass, industrialized murder of European Jewry during the Second World War. This systematic, state-sponsored persecution and slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis began in 1933 and ended in 1945 with Germany's defeat. By the early 1960s, cinema was beginning to depict the horrors of this terrible period in history. Today, the Holocaust movie has become a genre in its own right.
