La Seconda Guerra Mondiale in Europa
L’Olocausto ebbe luogo all’interno del più ampio contesto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, il più esteso e distruttivo conflitto della Storia. Attraverso la realizzazione di un vasto e moderno impero nell’Europa Orientale, Adolf Hitler e il regime nazista volevano creare nuovo “spazio vitale” (Lebensraum) per la Germania; un piano che prevedeva l’eliminazione delle popolazioni locali. L’obiettivo nazista di rafforzare la razza superiore tedesca portò alla persecuzione e l'assassinio degli Ebrei e di molti altri.
