There is a comment above to the effect that there are a lot of Jewish threads. I find this question disturbing.

I don't think that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust--I think that six million human beings were murdered.

They were murdered because they were Jews, However, fact that they were Jews is incidental to the fact that they were human beings. The great fiction of racism is that, somehow, the fact that someone is a Jew, an Armenian, a Ukranian, a Native American, a Hugenot, makes them less human.

When it is said that Six Million Jews were murdered, most people are not Jews--and it becomes a "Jewish Issue"-- terrible yes, but not "our" problem. But humans were murdered, our own flesh and blood--it was the most abominable crime in human history --Not just Jewish History, but all history--
