Where and When

The Holocaust took place during World War II in Germany. America found out of the killing of the Jews in 1942, but they didn't react until 1944 setting up a refugee board. Germany set up concentration camps throughout their country and other countries they took over. Some say there were up to 20,000 of these camps but their were only eighteen major ones. In these camps people were forced to work and sometimes just held and killed.
