Answer: As a result of the Nazi prejudices against them, around 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust.

Explanation:

During World War II, Nazi Germany believed that there are people "unworthy of life" - those people were "racially inferior", and were considered as "the enemies of the state." This included Jewish people, who were subjects of various prejudices. Nowadays, this hostility and hatred towards Jewish people is referred to as anti-semitism.

Early in the war, as a result of their deep prejudices against the Jewish people, the Nazis devised a plan called "Final Solution to the Jewish problem." The plan was to exterminate all the Jewish people. From 1939 to 1945, the Nazis physically tortured and murdered around 6 million Jews. This period is known as the Holocaust. In Nazi concentration camps, various techniques were used to murder Jews - they were starved to death, killed in gas chambers, etc.
