Absolutely. The genocidal policies of the Nazis resulted in the deaths of about as many Polish Gentiles as Polish Jews, thus making them co-victims in a Forgotten Holocaust. This Holocaust has been largely ignored because historians who have written on the subject of the Holocaust have chosen to interpret the tragedy in exclusivistic terms--namely, as the most tragic period in the history of the Jewish Diaspora. To them, the Holocaust was unique to the Jews, and they therefore have had little or nothing to say about the nine million Gentiles, including three million Poles, who also perished in the greatest tragedy the world has ever known. Little wonder that many people who experienced these events share the feeling of Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz, who anxious when the meaning of the word Holocaust undergoes gradual modifications, so that the word begins to belong to the history of the Jews exclusively, as if among the victims there were not also millions of Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, and prisoners of other nationalities. -- Richard C. Lukas, preface to The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles under German Occupation 1939-1944

∙ 12y agoThe unfortunate issue about the Holocaust is that we call the six million Jews as Jews because that is what the Nazis called them. In actual fact many of the victims did not call themselves Jews, but they were killed as Jews for being Jewish.
At the same time and in the same places many other people were being killed, for example the gypsies suffered a genocide, they were sent to the gas chambers in the same way, or massacred in pits or ditches (etc) in the same way, but it is a dis-service to them to just be considered an add-on to the Jewish tradgedy.
There were also other groups who were arrested and were sent to concentration camps, but they did not live under the fear of sumary execution, they were afforded better treatment and cucially better food and they were not sent to the gas chambers.
