There were about as many non-Jews killed in the Holocaust!

No event is modern history is more horrifying or infamous than the Holocaust and WWII. While it is true that Hitler blamed many of Germany’s and the world’s problems on the Jews, most people do not know that he also targeted a number of other people.

It is true that as a group Jews were targeted in much greater numbers than any other group, however it is believed that around 11 million people were executed in German concentration camps. 6 million Jews are believed to have been murdered.

This leaves 5 million others who were also sent to their deaths. So who were they? Some were Christian, and some were prisoners of war. Gypsies and homosexuals were especially targeted, along with blacks and the disabled. Together, the figure adds up to around 5 million.
