Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A The Nazis murdered around 60,000 Jews.
B They spared the people who were mentally and physically disabled.
D People following different religious faiths were tolerated.

The Nazis murdered roughly 6,000,000 Jews, 2,000,000 Gypsies, 1,000,000 Polish civilians and 10,000 homosexual people. They also killed 70,000 Germans who were mentally and physically disabled. People following different religious faiths and various political opponents like communists were brutally murdered. This set of collective incidents is infamously called the ‘Holocaust’.
