The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. 

 Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. 

Otto Starr shares his family's experience during this time of history.
