The holocaust which was a mass killing for the Jews was well organized and efficient. The holocaust was well designed by the Germans to exterminate other races from Europe and they targeted the Jews in the area. This holocaust took six years and for this period approximately 6000,000 million Jews were killed by the axis power. The Nazis reported 2808 death of the Jews every day. The Jews were killed and their properties were plundered. They were buried in mass graves and it was easy for them to be killed as they were sending to ghettos where they were targeted.

The holocaust was efficient because of the law that existed in the country which states that the Jews were not part of the country and they were to be eliminated from the country. The registration of religion of every Dutch citizen which also involved the registration of the Jews, made it easier for the Nazis to look up to registers to locate Jews hence making it easy for them to find them and kill them in the holocaust. The holocaust was efficient due to the help from the other citizens that the dictators received. The law of requiring all the Jews to live in a certain area was to make it easier for the Germans to kill all the Jews in the area. They were making to live in ghettos and the Germans attacked the ghettos and killed all the Jews.

The secret police that were used by the German government transported the Jews or other communities who were hated by Hitler to concentration camps. In these camps, they were made to do hard labor so as to make the government to make more money in order to make more people to be attracted with the camp. The Jews in the camp were killed by gas starvation, overworking, shooting and inhuman medical experiment. All this factors made holocaust to be efficient.
