How did the holocaust stop?

Well I was learning about the holocaust in RE at school and I was wondering how did the holocaust actually stop? Did the Nazi’s just suddenly realise it was bad or something?

Answer #1

It stopped because the Russians, Americans, and British had pushed far enough into Germany by 1944 and 1945 that they began coming across the German concentration camps. A few camps were never found intact as they were destroyed and abandoned by the Germans as Allied troops began gaining ground.

Answer #2

yeah after the allies started to push forward the camp guards deserted and left everyone in the camps, then the allies came in and cleaned up

Answer #3

probably something to do with the fact that they had lost the war. I would suspect those in charge of the camps might’ve made themselves pretty scarce before the allied troops arrived!
