The Holocaust certainly gets a lot of attention.

Far greater numbers of people were killed in Russia and China by the Communists but these tragedies are hardly ever mentioned by the media or anyone else.

Michael Savaged discussed this issue on his show one day. He claimed more Christians died in the Holocaust than Jews.

I don't agree with everything Bishop Pieronek is saying by any means, however, the constant portrayal of the Nazis as ONLY hating and persecuting Jews in popular media, I know, really does grate on the millions of other peoples which were targeted by the Nazi butchers.

Considering that the Polish were (and are) very religious people, it is a definite fact that more Christians were killed than Jews (9 million Poles, and something around 5 million other non-Jewish civilians).

Now, were they specifically targeted because of Christianity? Not usually--the Nazis just despised Slavic peoples, with the same kind of rabid racism as they did others.

Was a special cruelty and hatred reserved for Jews? Yes, I think so, however, the sufferings and murder of millions of non-Jews in central Europe needs to be acknowledged--or it gives anti-Semitism an excuse.
