Six BILLION???
I am not an apologist for the Nazis and think that they were one of the nastiest bunch of people who ever waked the earth. But even they could not exterminate more Jews than the total world population - of ALL faiths - at the time.
"The Final Solution" was a euphemism used by Hitler in decribing the systmatic extermination of six million Jews.
The Holocaust was the attempted extermination of Europe's Jews. About six million were killed during the Holocaust.
Holocaust. It is estimated that six million Jews, were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust
The only groups singled out for extermination rather than enslavement were the Jews and the Romanies ('gypsies'). Please see related question.
Extermination!
Holocaust-extermination of Jews WW2
They were taken to extermination camps. Please see related question.
Holocaust.
65,000 Jews were killed.

Presumably this means the extermination camp at Birkenau - just under a million. (this was an answer when the question read "How many Jews were killed at the extermination camp") To answer the current question: about three and a half million.
the final solution is the extermination of jews and the holocaust was the extermination of jews. they were the same thing. the final solution was just a way of saying to killing of jews without really saying.
