Hitler started the Holocaust.

Adolf Hitler, who became leader of the Nazi Party or NSDAP in the 1930s, attributed many of Germany's problems to the Jewish minority, already antagonized in Germany. Eventually, the party caused violence against Jews to escalate, and on Kristallnacht (night of the broken glass), Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues were vandalized, raided, and destroyed. Hitler ordered that Jews be moved to Ghettos, hoping that they would eventually starve and fight each other to death. This taking to long, Hitler came up with the "Final Solution", the genocide known widely as the Holocaust.

From the first day that Adolf Hitler seized power, January 30, 1933, he knew that only sudden death awaited him if he failed to restore pride and empire to post Versailles Germany. His close friend and adjutant Julius Schaub recorded Hitler's jubilant boast to his staff on that evening, as the last celebrating guests left the Berlin Chancellery building: No power on earth will get me out of this building alive!

Adolf Hitler's war with the Jews now stepped up in pace. Whereas before, anti-Semitic rhetoric helped the Nazis get elected, now they had the power to put some of their ideas into action. In April 1933, Jews were banished from government jobs, a quota was established banning Jews from university, and a boycott of Jewish shops enacted.

In 1935, the infamous Nuremberg Laws were passed. These classed Jews as German "subjects" instead of citizens. Intermarriage was outlawed, more professions were closed to Jews, shops displayed signs reading, "No Jews Allowed." Harassment was common.

Holocaust victim usually refers to people who were killed in the Holocaust, so it is not clear who you are referring to: refugees from Nazi Germany? Holocaust survivors? Both groups? I imagine that the main library in Houston or the municipal archives would have a good idea.
