I thought I'd clarify one thing : two-thirds of those 5 million murdered Polish civilians were Jews.
Felt it was worth mentioning, as your comment differentiates between the Nazi slaughter of Jewish and non-Jewish civilians. The 5 million is a total count.
The 3.1 million Polish Jews that were killed represented nearly the entire Polish Jewish population.
FYI, I say this as a Jew who lost family to the Nazi's in Poland.
