Sebastian Haffner published the analysis in 1978 that Hitler from December 1941 accepted the failure of his goal to dominate Europe forever on his declaration of war against the United States, but that his withdrawal and apparent calm thereafter was sustained by the achievement of his second goal—the extermination of the Jews.
Bodan Wytwycky estimated that as many as one quarter of all Soviet civilian deaths at the hands of the Nazis and their allies were racially motivated, or 5 million Russian deaths, 3 million Ukrainian deaths and 1.5 million Belarusian deaths.

Today, the term "holocaust" is also used to describe other attempts at [[genocide]], both before and after [[World War II]] and, more generally, for any overwhelmingly massive and deliberate loss of life, such as that which would result from a nuclear war (sometimes called a "nuclear holocaust").
The exact number of deaths during the Holocaust is unknown ''(see Extent of the Holocaust below).'' One feature of the Nazi Holocaust that distinguishes it from other mass murders was the efficient and systematic method with which the mass killings were conducted.
Although Holocaust revisionists claim to present documentary evidence to support their claims, critics argue that the evidence is flawed, the research is specious, and the conclusions are pre-determined.

 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the most controversial PETA campaigns has been their "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign which draws parallels between the treatment of farm animals confined and slaughtered for food production and the treatment of Jews and other victims of the Holocaust.
PETA's "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign has been criticized by most (though not all) of the Jewish community for comparing raising and killing animals for food to the Holocaust.
Supporters of the campaign, including many Jewish people and Holocaust survivors, believe that the comparison between animal exploitation and the Holocaust is justified, and that critics are unwilling to treat animal concerns seriously.

Additionally, some members of the Catholic clergy were killed by the Nazis, many of whom were either of Jewish background, as in the case of Edith Stein, or were killed as part of the Nazis campaign against the Polish intelligentsia.
The Nazis marched prisoners, already sick after months or years of violence and starvation, for tens of miles in the snow to train stations; then transported for days at a time without food or shelter in freight trains with open carriages; and forced to march again at the other end to the new camp.
Later, the historians' debate concerning functionalism and intentionalism also demonstrated that the question couldn't be simplified to a question of cruelty.

 The Holocaust
The Holocaust was Nazi Germany's systematic genocide (ethnic cleansing) of various ethnic, religious, national, and secular groups during World War II.
The commonly used figure for the number of Jewish victims is six million, so much so that the phrase "six million" is now almost universally interpreted as referring to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, though mainstream estimates by historians of the exact number range from five million to over six million.
Estimates place the total number of Holocaust victims at up to 26 million men, women, and children, although the number 11 million is usually held as more reliable.
