	While it is true that the death toll and many other parameters were larger in Europe.

	Many people in Jewish communities in North Africa were sent to concentration camps, many were used for forced labourer, many of them starved , and many were killed/died.

	== "The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum distinguishes between the Holocaust (the murder of six million Jews) and "the era of the Holocaust", ==

	The definition section of this article says "The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum distinguishes between the Holocaust (the murder of six million Jews) and "the era of the Holocaust"" I read the USHMM Introduction and I don't see where it distinguishes between the Holocaust and the "era of the Holocaust". I don't see that term, "era of the Holocaust" anywhere in the Introduction. Also, the source cited for this statement lists a specific author, but when I went to that Introduction page, I don't see any specific author listed, only the USHMM. How can I get these things changed? I can edit, if allowed. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 23:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	:::: I'm still not entirely clear. The second note, looks like "h", cites Gray, who offers three definitions of the "Holocaust", and two of these definitions indicate that it was the Holocaust that was from 1933 to 1945. In addition, the other citation, Yadvashem, doesn't actually say that there was a "Holocaust era" which differed from the Holocaust. On the other hand, the Vadyashem source implies that the Holocaust and the "Holocaust era" are the same thing. The Yadvashem source says "Because Nazi discrimination against the Jews began with Hitler's accession to power in January 1933, many historians consider this the start of the Holocaust era". That is, the Holocaust era began with discrimination against Jews, which culminated in mass murder. ] (]) 22:42, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

	Here is my proposed revision of the section "Definition". First, I present the proposed revision. Then I list the sources, just author names, books or articles. Last, I list extended descriptions of the sources and authors, showing where they describe the years of the Holocaust.

	REVISION

	Holocaust historians commonly define the Holocaust as the genocide of the European Jews, along with millions of non-Jews, by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and 1945. Victims of the Holocaust era include those the Nazis viewed as inherently inferior (chiefly Slavs, the Roma, and the disabled), and those targeted because of their beliefs or behavior (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, communists, and homosexuals). Peter Hayes writes that the persecution of these groups was less consistent than that of the Jews; for example, the Nazis' treatment of the Slavs consisted of "enslavement and gradual attrition", while some Slavs were favored (Hayes lists Bulgarians, Croats, Slovaks and some Ukrainians). Against this, Hitler regarded the Jews as what Dan Stone calls "a Gegenrasse: a 'counter-race' ... not really human at all".

	"Few historical periods in human history are so fatally associated with the destruction of human lives as Hitler’s ‘Third Reich’. Historic places honouring the victims of National Socialistic Germany form a wide and expanding network of heritage sites in Europe. Most of the places where the horrific events occurred during 1933–1945 have been broadly denoted as Holocaust memorial sites in the remembrance of the six million Jews who died, and the many other ethnic, religious, social, and political groups which were subjected to persecution."

	Michael Gray, a specialist in Holocaust education, offers three definitions of the Holocaust: (a) "the persecution and murder of Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945", which includes Kristallnacht in 1938; (b) "the systematic mass murder of the Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1941 and 1945", which recognizes the German policy shift in 1941 toward extermination; and (c) "the persecution and murder of various groups by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945", which fails to recognize that the European Jews were targeted for annihilation.
	NOTE that 2 of these three definitions have the Holocaust as 1933-1945. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 15:59, 11 April 2021 (UTC)</span>

			he Holocaust primarily targeted Jews, with approximately 6 million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.

WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (9 May 2021): The Arbitration Committee advises that administrators may impose "reliable-source consensus required" as a discretionary sanction on all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933-45), including the Holocaust in Poland. On articles where "reliable-source consensus required" is in effect, when a source that is not a high quality source (an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journals, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution) is added and subsequently challenged by reversion, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.

For more information, please refer to Misplaced Pages's content disclaimer regarding potentially objectionable content and options for not seeing an image.

view · edit Frequently asked questions Q1: Why does this article have The in the title? Most articles don't. A1: The name The Holocaust is common usage. Article titles follow subjects, not other articles. See also previous discussions on the question, linked in the move banner below. Q2: The Holocaust was not only about Jews; the total death toll was more like 11+ million. A2: As it says in the lead sentence which defines the scope of the article, the Holocaust "was the genocide of European Jews during World War II". As explained elsewhere in the lead and body, "separate Nazi persecutions killed a similar or larger number of non-Jewish civilians and POWs". As also explained in the lead and the body, "the term Holocaust is sometimes used to refer to the persecution of these other groups"; such uses of the term Holocaust constitute "significant minority views" as explained in Misplaced Pages's WP:NPOV policy. In accordance with WP:NPOV policy, Misplaced Pages states the mainstream view in its own voice, while also explaining significant minority views.

The Holocaust has been listed as one of the History good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.

Non Jewish

The holocaust was not just Jewish murders. There were five million others murder. This page is a lie 31.120.225.228 (talk) 11:19, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population." This page is about that, for other genocides look further Separate Nazi persecutions killed a similar or larger number of non-Jewish civilians and prisoners of war (POWs); If you only had an ability to read with comprehension.

he Holocaust primarily targeted Jews, with approximately 6 million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. However, millions of non-Jews were also killed during this period as part of the Nazi regime's broader campaign of persecution and extermination. Estimates for non-Jewish victims include:

Romani (Gypsies): Between 200,000 and 500,000. Disabled individuals: Approximately 250,000, targeted through the T4 euthanasia program. Polish civilians: Around 1.8 to 2 million non-Jewish Poles. Soviet civilians and prisoners of war: Between 3.3 and 5 million Soviet POWs and countless civilians. Political dissidents, resistance members, and others: Tens of thousands, including Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists. Jehovah’s Witnesses: About 1,900 to 2,000 were executed for refusing to pledge allegiance to the Nazi regime. Homosexuals: Thousands were arrested, with an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 dying in concentration camps. In total, estimates for non-Jewish deaths during the Holocaust vary but are generally between 5 to 11 million. Combined with Jewish victims, the Holocaust claimed the lives of roughly 11 to 17 million people. Rossen (talk) 21:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Note that the very first paragraph of the introduction already reads "Separate Nazi persecutions killed a similar or larger number of non-Jewish civilians and prisoners of war (POWs); the term Holocaust is sometimes used to refer to the persecution of these other groups."
