Can someone explain this quote from "the great gatsby"?

Question

"It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilson's body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete."

Answer 1

I have not read this novel, but there are a number of online study guides, and quite a few other resources on the web that can help you with this question.  Most of them have quite a bit of good information.  Have a look at these, and you should get some help with your work.  If you do a search you will find many other links.

Answer 2

There are a series of events that happens in this book. You have to read the book to be able to understand the quote. This is at the part where the mistress is killed and gatsby, I think, is the one who is suspect because of past events. If you have read the book, Gatsby gets killed in the end which explains the aftermath of the "holocaust."
