Niet-Joodse slachtoffers van het naziregime

 Portaal Tweede Wereldoorlog

De niet-Joodse slachtoffers van het naziregime zijn de slachtoffers van de nazi's gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog die niet bepaald vermoord zijn om hun Joodse afkomst. Aangezien nazi-Duitsland een sterk xenofobisch karakter had zijn veel mensen ten prooi gevallen aan zuiveringen. Er waren volgens Hitler velen die vervolgd of zelfs vernietigd moesten worden: Esperantisten, gehandicapten en geesteszieken, homoseksuelen, Jehova's getuigen (en Vrije Bijbelonderzoekers), politieke tegenstanders, de Slavische volkeren, vrijmetselaars en zigeuners. Zij kwamen samen met Joden als Untermenschen om in vernietigingskampen en/of gaskamers van de Holocaust.

2. ↑ Polish Resistance and Conclusions, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Documentation remains fragmentary, but today scholars of independent Poland believe that 1.8 to 1.9 million Polish civilians (non-Jews) were victims of German Occupation policies and the war. This approximate total includes Poles killed in executions or who died in prisons, forced labor, and concentration camps. It also includes an estimated 225,000 civilian victims of the 1944 Warsaw uprising, more than 50,000 civilians who died during the 1939 invasion and siege of Warsaw, and a relatively small but unknown number of civilians killed during the Allies' military campaign of 1944—45 to liberate Poland."
