The genocide in Lithuania is seen by some historians as one of the earliest large-scale implementations of the Final Solution , leading some scholars to express an opinion that the Holocaust began in Lithuania in the summer of 1941 . Other scholars say the Holocaust started in September 1939 with the onset of the Second World War , or even earlier , on Kristallnacht in 1938 , or , according to the Jewish Virtual Library , when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933
