What's the difference between these three terms?
repress
oppress
suppress
I don't have any idea how different those three are.
Could anybody explain it to me?

These are not definitions but I hope this makes sense.
A repressed memory is a memory you try to forget and eventually do. It may be suppressed due to traumatic events in your life.
The holocaust was the oppression of Jewish people. The Germans were the oppressors who oppressed the Jewish people.
Suppressed sometimes refer to emotions and actions. So you would suppress yourself from laughing at someone falling in public.
