HOLOCAUST FORGOTTEN : DEDICATED TO THE FIVE MILLION MURDERED IN THE HOLOCAUST WHO WERE NOT JEWISH

HOLOCAUST FORGOTTEN  

'While there is no argument that Hitler abhorred the Jews and caused almost six million to be ruthlessly killed, often non-Jewish victims are tragically forgotten from Holocaust remembrances.  Eleven million precious human lives were lost during the Holocaust.  Five million of these were non-Jewish.  Three million were Polish Christians and Catholics.  It would be very sad to forget even one precious life extinguished so ruthlessly  It wold be a tragedy to forget five million. 

WHY REMEMBERING NON-JEWISH VICTIMS IS IMPORTANT TO US ALL.

Excerpt:  We are familiar with the statistics : nearly 10,000 Jehovah Witnesses imprisoned and at least 2,000 admitted to Nazi concentration camps of which at least half were murdered, over 250 by beheading.    What we do not know as well is the day-to-day existence of this extraordinary group of committed men, women, and children under the rule of National Socialist terror.

This is not a database site but there's some excellent information on it. 

HOLOCAUST GENEALOGY - JEWS, JEHOVAH WITNESSES, ROMA, and CATHOLICS and CHRISTIANS TOO - ELEVEN MILLION

The Six Million.  You've heard this term.  I wonder if you know that it applies to the estimated Jewish victims of genocide by the Nazi's prior to and during World War II?  The number is an estimate and based on reportage, concentration camp documents, and the like.  However, another Five Million non-Jewish others were also murdered during the Nazi occupation.  Though the years have gone by, though most of the holocaust survivors are now deceased, though there are holocaust deniers, to this day there are museums and memorials and foundations interested in collecting testimonials.  They were the disabled, children who had African genetics, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses.

This month in which the Holocaust Memorial Day is lodged, I'll be focusing on research and education opportunities about the Holocaust that began in 1939 and continued until the allies which included the United States defeated the Nazi's in Europe.

I recently met a man whose grandfather and uncle died being worked to death because they were Jehovah Witnesses. He had recently gone to Europe and toured the camps in Germany as well as Poland.  As a result of doing some research for him, I decided to go forward with the plan to jam this month with information.
