I thought the same as you.
The Wikipedia page on Holocaust victims (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims) has a list of the different groups targeted by the nazis.
In addition to what other commenters have written there was also: freemasons, spanish republicans from the 36 revolution, soviet prisoner of wars, slovene and romani.
Interesting to note that nazis killed as much ethnic poles as polish jews.
- adrianm 9y agoYou're off by about 1.2 million people with your last remark.
- philh 9y ago> Interesting to note that nazis killed as much ethnic poles as polish jews. But also note that this was about 90% of polish jews, and something like 10-15% of ethnic poles. (90% from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland; 10-15% back-of-the-envelope from that plus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims#Poles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims#Poles, giving a non-Jewish population of a little over 30,000,000.)
