- The Holocaust is a term generally used to discribe the genocide and murder of almost 6 million people during the time period of World War II.

- linked to holocaust "ss" means surely schutzstaffel: The SS was founded as a special organisation to protect Adolf Hitler. In the Nuremberg Trials the SS was condemned to be a criminal organisation because of it´ key role in the holocaust and other war crimes and crimaes against humanity. Part of the SS were so-called "Death Squads" which were founded to retaliate upon civilians in occupied countries if a member of the SS or Wehrmacht was injured or killed by the local resistance. Often whole villages and small cities were wiped out.
