Which term describes the Nazi plan named by Hitler to exterminate Jews?

• A. Lebensraum
• B. Final Solution
• C. Holocaust
• D. Nuremberg Laws

Answer: (B)

Understanding what each term refers to helps you see how Nazi policies toward Jews were labeled. The plan named by Hitler to exterminate Jews is the Final Solution. This was the official term the regime used for its systematic effort to eliminate the Jewish population, leading to the network of extermination camps and mass murder during the war. The term Holocaust describes the broader genocide that occurred as a result of this policy, not the plan’s codename. Lebensraum refers to the idea of expanding German living space into Eastern Europe to gain land and resources, which was a separate motive behind aggression. The Nuremberg Laws were anti-Jewish statutes that stripped Jews of citizenship and rights, a step in persecution rather than the murder plan itself.
