The Holocaust, orchestrated by the Nazi regime during World War II, extended far beyond the borders of Germany. While it's true that the majority of German Jews had indeed emigrated before the war, Hitler's genocide targeted Jews across Europe, not just those within Germany.

The Nazis invaded and occupied numerous countries throughout Europe, where millions of Jews resided. Through a systematic campaign of persecution, ghettoization, forced labor, and mass killings in concentration camps, the Nazis were able to murder approximately six million Jews, along with millions of others deemed undesirable by their racist ideology, including Roma, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and others.

The Holocaust was a comprehensive and horrific event that involved not just direct killings but also starvation, disease, forced labor, and other forms of persecution. It's crucial to understand the full scope of the Holocaust, beyond just the numbers within Germany itself.
