You really want to compare?

People suffer when their country is invaded by mass murderers. Many Poles suffered, many died.

But you really want to compare that to an actual plan put into effect to torture and murder every single Jewish man, woman, child, toddler, infant.

A plan that nearly succeeded all to much.

Really, you think your comment to this story adds anything?

Did you know this?

As part of the plan to destroy Poland, the Germans engaged in cultural genocide in which they destroyed or closed universities and high schools, libraries, museums and national monuments as well as scientific institutes and laboratories.[24] Polish children were forbidden from acquiring education beyond the elementary level so that a new generation of Polish leaders could not arise in the future.[24]. According to a May, 1940, memo from Heinrich Himmler: “The sole goal of this schooling is to teach them simple arithmetic, nothing above the number 500; writing one’s name; and the doctrine that it is divine law to obey the Germans. I do not think that reading is desirable.”[24] The Poles responded with the “Secret Teaching” (Tajne Nauczanie) a campaign of underground education.

In the same document, Himmler promised to eventually deport all Slavic Poles to Russia. In other statements, he mentioned the future killing fields in the Pripet Marshes where all were intended to die during the cultivation of the swamps. Plans for the mass transportation and creation of slave labor camps for up to 20 million Poles were made. According to Himmler, “All Poles will disappear from the world. [...] It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles.”[25]

Yes, the Jews were on the “fast track”, but it still was the Nazi goal to exterminate all Poles as well, but to just get more slave labor out of them before finishing the deed.

Did I said I did? No. I just think that it would be good to more often mention the millions of other victims too.

“But you really want to compare that to an actual plan put into effect to torture and murder every single Jewish man, woman, child, toddler, infant.”

Actually the Nazis had plans of enslavement and mass murder for almost all the peoples of the East. The Jews and Gypsies were singled out as top priorities for extermination.

“Really, you think your comment to this story adds anything?”

It sure does. Just the kneejerk false accusations of anti-semiticism show something is wrong with how the issues are handled.
