The actual execution of the Holocaust lasted from around early 1938 until 1945. Jews and other ethnic groups were separated out from other prisoners of the Reich early on, and until a month before VE Day (May 8, 1945), trains were still bringing Jews to the open camps from ones that had closed. Other Jews died in forced death marches.

The major acts of the perpetrators lasted from 1933 (when Hitler was elected) until 1961 (when Eichmann was on trial in Jerusalem)

Eichmann was tried for for crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity and war crimes. He was found guilty and hanged at Ramleh on May 31, 1962. A fellow Nazi reported Eichmann once said that he "would leap laughing into the grave, because the feeling that he had five million people on his conscience would be for him a source of extraordinary satisfaction."

_______

The Holocaust refers to the Nazi genocide of the Jews and that ended in 1945. Extending it till Eichmann's exeecution make no sense whatever.
From 1933-1945
