There were only two ethnic groups targeted for destruction by the Nazis :Jews and Roma (Gypsies).
The Nazis planned to thin the population of Slavic peoples and turn them into slaves. This is a real distinction, but of little consequence to those murdered. However, when talking about the Holocaust this differnece is important. I would also note that he Nazis never really got arround to depopulating the east in any serious manner. Had they won the war, things would be quite different.

Understatement of the week.

You are correct of course, but it is important for people to understand that other nationalities also suffered greatly under Hitler, albeit, on a smaller percentage basis than the Jews.
