Jews were the plurality of who was killed, but they were not the majority. To erase the broad spectrum of the other 8 million people killed during the Holocaust is to erase an aspect of Nazi ideology and it's desire to totally remake European society into it's imagine of German dominance.
Weren't Slavic peoples killed under generalplan ost the largest group of fatalities?
Again, it is how you are splitting up and dividing casualties. If you are focusing on the death camps in particular (a distinction they are implying in the original post, by trying to claim the opposite is "all victims of WW2"), there were Roma, Communists/Socialists, LGBTQ, some Soviet POWs, and other "undesirables". But, yes, there were a lot of massacres of Slavic people that the Nazis carried out.
By 2-3x iirc, though I've seen people claim those were "military casualties" and that they don't count
It's only Holocaust if it comes from the Holocaust region of Germany, otherwise it's just sparkling genocide
Hmm I mean the all gets a bit complicated doesn't it. I think it's fair to limit the definition of Holocaust to the camps, in which case the victims were majority slav and also majority jewish because these are not exclusive categories. The civilian/military casualties in eastern Europe were huge ofc, and this is because it was ultimately a war of extermination, unlike the western theatre which mainly involved western Europeans surrendering to each other.
Generalplan Ost is under-discussed, and the erasure of non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust has a lot to answer for (not least in Poland), but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Jews were the prime target of the nazi regime. The plan to exterminate most of eastern Europe and enslave the remnants was what they expected to be able to do once they got the Jews out of the way — but they believed the Jews had to be eliminated first
I hadn't actually considered that, but yes, Slavs would be the actual plurality (and I believe general majority) of who was killed.
