    The Jews were pretty far down on the list in actuality. The first people they went for were the queer people and trans people, then it was the communists, and then the socialists, and then the labor unions, and then the Jews after that, then any Germans who opposed hitler. They started from the smallest and worked their way up.

      This.

      There were 11 million people murdered in the Holocaust. Only 6 million of those were Jews. The other 5 million were the groups you mentioned, in addition to the disabled, mentally ill, Roma and other undesirables.

      Nearly half of the people murdered in the Holocaust were other minorities.

      This needs to be the top reply

      Why are do many of these internet historians leaving us out? Don’t forget the physically and mentally disabled!

      They used us to test their murder logistics! WTF!
