As Nazi control of Eastern Europe collapsed in 1944, the Soviets who uncovered the concentration camps reported that the Nazis had extirminated 2 million people mostly communists:
Quote:Leading Soviet citizens - party, state and army officials, workers, intellectuals and Jews - were special targets for extirmination said the Bulletin, which cited nazi documents.

Later the 2 million becomes in inflated to 5 million, then 6 million...and the Zionist propganda machine will teach us that the victims were mainly Jews.
Even if 5 or 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, why have we allowed the propganda machine to make us think that this is more important than the much larger number killed by Nazis in the USSR:

Nobody is making the 6 million appear greater than the 15 million (or 20 million) Russians.
The Jews commemorating and honouring their dead does not diminish the Russians' (or anyone else's) ability and commitment to remember their dead.
But there was never a notion to exterminate the Russians the way there was of the extermination of Jews.
Russians, Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc were rounded up and starved and worked to death. But there is the added dimension that the Russians were mostly from Russia, Poles from Poland - and the Jews from everywhere. That implicates all the people from the various countries from which the Jews were rounded up. SOme countries resisted the giving up of their Jews but in the end most did.
A very significant thing about the holocaust is the collaboration with the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews, by the French, Germans, Ukranians, Poles, Hungarians, etc, etc.
Russians do not feel guilty about their Russian dead. Most European countries feel guilty about the Jews they gave over to camps, slave labour, death marches, execution.
