  • Poles and russians made up another massive massive chunk of deaths, but seldom get mentioned. about 15000 gays were put in camps and had a 60% death rate, so about 9000 died. ~500k romani. ~250k disabled. about 5.1 million poles and russians died in the camps.

    13.7 million russian civilians were killed either in camps or during occupation and forced labor. But looking at the wikipedia, its slanted pretty heavily toward recognizing jewish deaths and minimizing the other demographics. Always has been that way, which I think is pretty wrong and awful. Its been made into some wierd marketing instead of noting that every human death was equally tragic.

    17 million killed in the camps, but if you ask around, many people will think its mostly or only jews, and totalled 6 million. Seems like some holocaust denial of the other 11 million murdered humans. Also when I’ve brought this up before and referred to other deaths as part of the holocaust, I’ve been told the holocaust refers to jewish people only, not the other dead.
