Ethnic Cleansing
This refers to the wiping out of an entire ethnic group by extremists, based on a variety of reasons. For example, during the Second World War, the Nazis of Germany, headed by Adolf Hitler, attempted to exterminate the Jewish people by setting up concentration camps in Poland and other countries that Germany occupied, in which genocide was systematically carried out. Fortunately, the Germans were defeated in the War and the Jews avoided total genocide; however millions of Jewish lives had already been taken.
