The Holocaust in Ukraine took place in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine, the General Government, Crimean General Government and some areas under military control to the East of Reichskommissariat Ukraine (all subdued to Nazi Germany) and as well in the Transnistria Governorate and Northern Bukovina (both occupied and the latter annexed by Romania) and Carpathian Ruthenia (then part of Hungary) in World War II (all the listed areas are today part of Ukraine). Between 1941 and 1944, more than a million Jews living in the Soviet Union were murdered by Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" extermination policies. Most of them were killed in Ukraine because most pre-WWII Soviet Jews lived in the Pale of Settlement, of which Ukraine was the biggest part.
