It’s Judaism’s mistake and Israel’s mistake to suggest that the only victims of the nazi Holocaust were Jews.
Perhaps 20 years ago, before the Internet had answers to almost everything, that might have been acceptable, albeit not then — and not now — factual.
By making the Holocaust a “Jewish property,” Jews are ignoring history and alienating all the survivors of non-Jews slaughtered by the nazis.
At the same time, these “Holocaust=European Jews” deny the murder of thousands of Jews in Arab countries, notably Iran and Palestine (then under English rule).
No one can, or should, deny that Jews were Hitler’s primary focus. The madman put killing Jews ahead of supplying his troops; he preferred to commandeer cattle cars to haul Jews to their deaths rather than to carry supplies to the German soldiers.
At the same time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who American Jews unwittingly held as a minor deity, refused to bomb the rail lines that carried thousands of Jews to their deaths, even though the tracks were on the routes American bombers were flying to reach FDR-approved targets. This should not have come a surprise; FDR denied entry to Jews on board the St. Louis, sending them back to Germany and their deaths.
From the Jewish Virtual Library
- “All Poles will disappear from the world.... It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles.” Heinrich Himmler
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) has an online document discussing the plight of Poles -- all Poles, not just Jews -- during the nazi occupation. - Hitler felt particularly threatened by Jehovah's Witnesses because they, from the very beginning, refused to recognize any God other than Jehovah.
- Roma Gypsies were a nomadic people that were persecuted throughout history. Both Jews and Roma were denied certain privileges in many European countries. The Germans believed both the Jews and the Gypsies were racially inferior and degenerate and therefore worthless.
The Gypsies were also moved into special areas set up by the Nazis and half a million of them - representing almost the entire Eastern European Gypsy population - was wiped out during the Holocaust. - Thousands of Catholic priests and Christian pastors were forced into concentration camps. A special barracks was set up at Dachau, the camp near Munich, Germany, for clergymen. A few survived; some were executed, but most were allowed to die slowly of starvation or disease.
- Between 5,000 to 15,000 homosexuals died in concentration camps during the Holocaust.
- During Hitler’s “cleansing program”, thousands of people with various handicaps were deemed useless and simply put to death like dogs and cats.
The above, and more, from a Jewish source proves that we — Jews — know that while Jews were the nazi’s primary target, we hardly were the nazi’s only “chosen people.”
- As an aside, the Warsaw ghetto was not the only time Jews fought back. The Holocaust Resistance includes a lengthy list of Jewish & Partisan Resistance groups and a nearly 30-name list of Jewish fighters that certainly is not "all inclusive."
USHMM's Documenting Numbers Of Victims Of The Holocaust And Nazi Persecution "guesstimates" the number of victims of nazi theology by category; e.g., Jews: up to 6 million; Soviet civilians: 5.7 million (excluding Jewish victims counted in the 6 million above); People with disabilities living in institutions: up to 250,000; Roma (Gypsies): 196,000–220,000.
The Holocaust went beyond Europe, although many Jews fail to recognize this.
Wikipedia reports that "There were pogroms against Jews prior to the foundation of Israel, including Nazi-inspired pogroms in Algeria in the 1930s, and attacks on the Jews of Iraq and Libya in the 1940s. In 1941, 180 Jews were murdered and 700 were injured in the anti-Jewish riots known as the Farhud."
