Serbian Orthodox Christians by the thousands and their Patriarch, Russian P.O.W.s, Orthodox Christans from all Eastern European countries and their clergy, Lutherans and their clergy from Germany, Lutherans from Hungary, Baptists from Germany and just about ANY Christians who dared speak out or act contrary to hitler's goals.
Take a look when you get a chance at the web site for the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. I recommend it highly.
One thing that so many folks miss when discussing the murder of millions by hitler and his supporters: HITLER WANTED TO TOTALLY ELIMINATE THE JEWS AS A PEOPLE AND A RELIGION. THIS WAS THE ONLY ORGANIZED GROUP FOR WHICH HE HAD SUCH PLANS.
He wanted the slavs to be SLAVES. The gypsies were to be eliminated but they were not of one single religion like the Jews.
And, that my friend, is why.... when people start to write or talk about the holocaust, THEY ALWAYS MENTION THE TERROR OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JEWS IN SUCH A FORCEFUL WAY!!
Entire families, generations destoyed in such cruel ways. Yes, the Jews deserve to be mentioned FIRST and foremost when we remember the holocaust. That mention does not lessen the value of the sacrifice of all of hitler's victims.
NEVER FORGET!!
Sure it does because the others are not mentioned at all. The reason I didn't complete the list is because I didn't even know about all the others slaughered by Hitler that you listed. No one does because no one in the media ever talks about them and yes, that does diminish their deaths.
Just your calling their deaths "sacrifice" rather than deaths diminishes these people. Evil is evil and death is death even if the people were not Jewish. I've had this argument via email with Allan Colmes recently. He doesn't think the other deaths are "as important" as the Jewish deaths either. Apparently this is a common belief amongst Jews and their supporters.
Thanks for your heads up to the holocaust museum website. I will take a look.
