Other Victims of Nazism
Other Victums Of Nazism
Beside the Jew, other victums of Nazism included Slavs, Czechs, Italians, French, homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled , Gypsies, Serbs, Polish intelligentsia, resistance fighters from all the nations, German opponents of Nazism,Jehova's Witnesses, habitual criminals, the "anti-social, e.g. beggers, vagrants, and hawkers.
Other people were killed in the terrible upheaval called World War II --a war in which more people lost their lives than in any other war in human history.
Hitler killed four million Soviet prisoners of war. Millions of other European civilians died in the war too. Other people were killed because they resisted the Nazis, or because they happened to be in a place where the Nazis needs were not satisfied, or because of some whim of Nazi brutality
The Nazis said that the Gypsies were racially inferior and deserved to die. Slavs were murdered for the same reason. The mentally retarded, the insane, and the physically deformed were also put to death. Those said to be enemies of the German nation (including many Germans who spoke out against Hitler)were killed as well.
But Jews were killed because they were Jews. They were killed for no other reason but that they were Jews. Even when they did not consider themselves to be Jewish at all, they were defined as Jews by the Nazis.
