I think this is the link you are talking about.
Under the "number of deaths section":
> Jews: 6 million
> Soviet civilians: around 7 million (including 1.3 Soviet Jewish civilians, who are included in the 6 million figure for Jews)
>Repeat criminal offenders and so-called asocials: at least 70,000
etc
So yes, I think you are right, non-jews were killed as apart of the holocaust, but it is defined as "The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jewish men, women and children by the Nazi regime and its collaborators."
I agree it doesn't really seem fair to ignore the other 50% of people that were killed and only ever define it as the killing of Jews.
