You don't know much real history. The Nazi's killed three million Polish Christian non-combatants, yet there's no indication that his policies were anti-Christian. 75% of Poland's clergy was killed; was he anti-Priest?
Poland was country with which Germany was at war. Non-combatants get killed in wars. It's not a good thing, but it's not genocide. Genocide is when you kill your brother citizens. By what percentage was the catholic population of europe reduced in the Ovens of Auschwitz?

6 million Jews died in World War II. 9 million Polish died in World War II. Most Polish were Catholic. Do the math.
"It's not a good thing, but it's not genocide."
See, we already have plenty of Catholics in other countries, so we can spare a few million. No biggie.

See, you don't know anything about history. Three million Poles were killed b/c they were untermenschen, not just cuz they were in the way. More Polish Christians than Jews. Whole villages, towns. It's insulting that you don't know that. It WAS genocide; the Polish Jews weren't the Nazi's own citizens; neither were the Christians. But they weren't Aryans. In fact, more Slavs were killed in camps, firing squad & etc than Jews.
Or did you miss that footnote to history, bigot.
