Holocaust deaths
The word Holocaust generally refers to the deaths of Jews, but other victims of Nazi Germany are often also included. (The word holocaust is also often used to describe the genocide of the Armenians in 1915-1917 by the Ottoman Turkish regime).
Although the exact figure will never be known, here are estimates:
- The figure of 11 million people dead is often given but it is completely unclear where this figure comes from, and how it is calculated. It is far too low. One also encounters the range 11-17 million.
- 6 million of these were Jewish (close to two thirds of Europe's Jewish population) and about one quarter of these were children under 15.
- Up to 270,000 were Roma/Sinti (Gypsies).
In addition, Hitler targeted homosexuals, Communists and other political dissidents, most Slavs, Jehovah's Witnesses, dissidents, some Protestant pastors and Catholic priests, black people, the mentally and physically disabled, and others. The figures include the camps as well as the mass graves in the countryside, killings in the street, organized mass shootings (such as Babi Yar, etc.) and basically, any person singled out for their race, religion, political beliefs, or their sexual orientation.
There are approximately 250 Holocaust museums and centers around the world where you can learn more, as well as extensive information elsewhere on the internet.
- Jews- 5.9 million
- Soviet POW's- 3.3 million
- Non-Jewish Poles- 1.8-2 million
- Romanis ('gypsies')- 220,000- 270,000 (but even the higher figure may be too low)
- Disabled- 200,000 - 250,000
- Homosexuals- 5,000 - 15,000
- Jehovah's Witnesses- 2,500 - 5,000
7,000,000
The estimated population of European Jews before the holocaust was 8,861,800. The estimated number annihilated was 5,933,900, or 67% of the population. The holocaust differed from the other twenty nine million non-Jews who died in one fundamental respect. It was the attempt to annihilate, totally to exterminate, all of the Jewish people of Europe. It is worth noting that the Holocaust includes the attempt to exterminate those of Gypsy heritage within Europe. As with the Jewish people, Gypsies were singled out for racial persecution by the Nazis. In all, about 250,000 Gypsies were sent to Auschwitz and other extermination camps, where they were either treated as guinea-pigs for experimental medicines, or executed.
11 Million died, approximately 6 million Jews and 5 million others including gypsies, poles, intrusion prisoners of war, Jehovah witness and other religious groups, political prisoners, male homosexuals and various other minorities. Hope this helped
