Jews would absolutely see the Holocaust as a primarily Jewish affair, verging on exclusively Jewish affair, zionism or no zionism. To expect a society to undergo that kind of apocalypse and think about the other people who were hurt is just asking too much of people.

I think it's totally comparable to how Americans see WWII (and even WWI) as America vs. the Nazis.

And this pattern holds just as much in communities that are nonzionist or antizionist - you'll never see Satmars talk about the mass murder of the disabled, because for them Jews are near and disabled German gentiles are far.

This would be at least as true - I would say much more true - if you replaced "Zionists" with "Jews," it would just be more uncomfortable for non-Jewish people to say or hear.

75% of the Jewish population of Europe died in the Holocaust. 75% of the Romani population as well. The Nazis also targeted Soviet citizens, Poles, Serbs, disabled people, and LGBT people, but those groups had a proportionally lower death rate.

It's a trip reading about how Israel treated the Holocaust survivors who emigrated after WWII - they treated them like poo poo, people called them "soapers" as a slur and the Zionist project saw them basically as weak victims who deserved their suffering. Plus their Yiddish/diaspora culture was suppressed in favor of the "pure" manufactured Israeli identity and all the fake archeology poo poo they did, renaming old Arab towns and poo poo.

IMO all 27 million Soviet citizens should be counted as victims of genocide, wiping out the population of eastern Europe was half the reason for invading. Still 'only' 16% of the total population of the USSR as opposed to 56% (?) of Soviet Jewery. I'd be curious to see an analysis of these figures for only the bits the nazis conquered, I imagine those numbers would be closer given the historical concentration of Jews in the western portions of the Russian empire, although still probably not too close.

The population of the occupied territories was apparently 85 million, or half the total population of the USSR.

I didn't mean to imply that other groups killed in the Holocaust are less important. I'm referring to the older posts about how it's seen as a singularly important event in Jewish history. It should be for Romani history as well, but most European governments still have laws discriminating against them.

Yeah it's not really that complicated, other groups aren't included because European governments mostly liked what the Nazis were doing to them.

Homosexual prisoners for example were kept in the camps because they were still criminals in the eyes of Allied governments

Yeah I understand you see this in Soviet histories, where the harm inflicted on Jewish society is minimized and the damage done to the USSR takes primacy. It's a totally normal reaction that's probably not ideal but completely excusable. I guess now 80 years on where it's fading from living memory you'd hope for some sort of synthesis.

Also the extermination of the disabled that was first of them all.

Communists even before them. March 1933 the first camps are established and 80% of prisoners in 1933 are members of the KPD and around 10% SDP.

These early camps actually mostly closed down by late 1933 and through early 1934 and most of their prisoners are released, but Himmler manages to get the whole camp system under the command of the SS following the purge of the SA in mid 1934. Through some legal reform fuckery the camps then fall outside of all pre-existing legal codes and oversight and Himmler starts to set up his new camp system throughout 1937. Main point is to go after "internal enemies" aka "communists, socialists, Jews, Freemasons and criminals". This is also when the camp uniforms with badges are introduced.

Then in 1938 they start to go hog-wild with the number of prisoners increasing exponentially targeting "habitual criminals" and "asocials" which is also what the mentally ill and disabled were classed under (or "work-shy"). Same for sexual minorities. The political prisoners (aka communists and socialists) become a minority for the first time in the 2nd half of 1938. Jehovahs Witnesses and Jews were next. Following Kristalnacht so many Jews are arrested that the camps get overwhelmed. There is mass abuse and death, but also most of these Jews get released if they promise to emigrate. I'm not entirely sure if Roma, Sinti et al. were in the "habitual criminals" + "asocials" + "work-shy" group or deliberately targeted as a specific group later.

Then once the war kicks off we get ever more camps and ever worsening conditions. The camps come to be used both to exterminate en-masse Soviet prisoners of war, for the first organised industrial scale killings of human beings and also as slave labour to support the war effort, which causes tons of deaths as well. Specifically ill and exhausted prisoners were ordered to be murdered, as they had no value as slave labour. This was done by removing them from the camps and bringing them to euthanasia centers. This is the point where mentally ill and disabled people, insofar as they were still alive, are murdered en-masse. Though technically still based on individual assessment I suppose.

In 1941 Einsatzgruppen begin the Holocaust in the field in Eastern Europe. Following the Wannsee conference in January 1942 the industrial mass extermination of Jews in the camp system commences, using the same methods that were used on the Soviet prisoners of war.

I don’t think this is true, given the Armenian experience with genocide and their embrace of Assyrian survivors and the study and recognition of the Assyrian genocide


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayfo

quote:

International recognition
During the 1990s, before the first academic research on the Sayfo, Assyrian diaspora groups (inspired by campaigns for Armenian genocide recognition) began to press for a similar formal acknowledgement.[260][261] In parallel with the political campaign, Armenian genocide research began to include Assyrians as victims.[262] In December 2007, the International Association of Genocide Scholars passed a resolution recognizing the Assyrian genocide.[263][256][264] The Sayfo is also recognized as a genocide in resolutions passed by Sweden (in 2010),[265][266] Armenia (2015),[267][268] the Netherlands (2015),[269] and Germany (in 2016).[269][270] Memorials in Armenia, Australia, Belgium, France, Greece, Sweden, Ukraine, and the United States commemorate victims of the Sayfo.[271]

it strikes me as a bizarre point of discussion.
