A minute each? It would take more than 11 years.
The English word “holocaust” derives from Greek words meaning “whole and “burnt” , and generally describes destruction or slaughter on a mass scale. Holocaust as a proper noun specifically refers to the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of European Jews and others at the direction of the German Nazi government between 1933 and 1945.
Many attempts have been made to try to represent the overwhelming scale and enormity of Holocaust in an easily assimilable form, including the following meme, which holds that “If we held a moment of silence for every victim of the Holocaust, we would be silent for eleven and a half years”: Is this example an accurate representation of the sheer number of victims who perished in the Holocaust?
This premise involves a few variables which are not defined in the meme, such as the length of a “moment of silence.
