The figure seems to be greatly exaggerated. The Holocaust page on Wikipedia lists the total deaths of that event as in the range of 8 million, and there's no mention of Catholics on the list either, so they're probably grouped into one of the small categories with others.

I found no mention of Catholics being killed en masse by the Nazis beyond a couple cases of priests in concentration camps, the largest number of those being 2,500. Surely they weren't free from persecution and I'm sure many thousands perished, but the numbers don't compare to those of the Jewish victims.

What you're doing is effectively holocause denial

My opinion. Fuck Jews. Fuck them all. There were so many other groups that were killed by the fucking Nazi's, yet everyone cares about the Jews. Well, not me. Fuck Jews, I care about everyone else.

Nobody is fucking more special than me by some fucking God.

Maybe I sounded a little extreme, but I really don't like how everyone always talks about the Holocaust like it was a Jews-only thing. And I hate how Jews are special for everything. Like how being against them isn't just "racist" like it would be for any other group of people, but it's "anti-Semitic" and shit like that. It just gets to you after a while. I dislike the whole "holier than thou" shit that they preach. Maybe if they really are more special than other people, that it's not so bad if everyone hates them because they'll all be next to God when they depart the planet.

But, of course, not, they're just human beings. Like you and me.

What about the Reichskonkordat?? Stuff like that would have protected catholic priests for the early parts of the war.... If this many Catholics were killed it would have been for being Poles rather than Catholic. As far as I know only Jews and Jehovas witnesses were targetted for their religion.

I've never seen anyone mention the holocaust like it was a Jews-only thing. Everyone knows that there were other groups targeted, but the Jews were the MAIN group. THEY were the ones who were specifically targeted.

And yet at the same time Stalin put to death what was it, ~60 million of his own people? Yea I always thought it was a tad fucked up no one was cryin for the Ruskies.  And to think everyone laughed when the likes of Adolf Galland and other brilliant german service members told the allies they would help us fight the russians and we should team up. Yea, we coulda by-passed that entire cold war thing, but seeing as how we were so selective as to what bad guys we choose to pursue. ah you know what, fuck it, ya'll come up with some bullshit excuse anyway.

I don't see how I'm a Nazi just for saying that Jews are no better than any other group of people out there. If I went and said "My race is better than Jews, Jews are inferior people and should all die" than yes, call me a fucking Nazi and ban me. All I'm saying is, I don't like the special treatment they get.

If that figure is true, a majority of it would have been down as political prisoners/enemies of the state etc etc, or families that had fallen out of favour.

I spent a fair while in Berlin, and IIRC i saw a memorial to the murdered peoples of no clear reason or something.


The museum to the murdered jews is quite something though, definatley worth seeing.

It is weird that we focus so much on the Jewish side of the Holocaust, though. In school we've studied that at least 6 times, read Anne Frank in one class, went to Anne Frank the play in another class, read Elie Wiesel's book, etc. We've never talked about the other kinds of victims, besides the mention that "Oh yeah, he killed gypsies too."
