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
