Thinking of changing Wikipedia's Holocaust article to include genocide of Poles.

But if you do that, why stop at Poles? Why not mention all the groups that were targeted?

Any caveats? Suggestions?

"the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews (predominantly Polish) during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany.

For hundreds of years, the word holocaust was used in English to denote massive sacrifices and great slaughters or massacres. During World War II, the word was used to describe Nazi atrocities regardless of whether the victims were Jews or non-Jews. Since the 1960s, the term has come to be used by scholars and popular writers to refer exclusively to the genocide of Jews.

I also hear you sub standard Europeans are very racist towards non-white people in your country anyway so you must not have learnt anything from your Nazi past.

I think the jews have claimed the exclusive publishing and movie rights to the Holocaust by now. That said, I agree with you that history should definitely be more accurate. The problem is that they are creating a political vacuum when they mislead your perception.

Control by propaganda I always say.........

"the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany."

I want to change it to "The Nazi genocide of approximately 5 million Poles, of whom 3.1 million were Polish Jews, and 2 million were ethnic Poles." or something similar.

The Wikipedia article does mention the Nazi attack on Poles and other ethnicities, but nevertheless chooses to define the holocaust exclusively as the genocide of Jews in the first paragraph of the article.

Ever since my return from Poland It's pissed me off how much the holocaust is equated with the Jews, without even a token mention of Poles, 2 million of whom died at the hands of the Nazis, and whose culture and nationhood was the target for complete annihilation.

Can Germans claim some Genocide for us too? I mean the air raids in Hamburg or Dresden for example were aimed solely at Germans...for being Germans...that was mass killing because of ethnical reasons, wasn't it?

. One is genocide and the other a result of war.

After studying poles in this country and abroad I cannot see how they can be classified as white Europeans to be honest, a bunch of parasites more like...low lives. comparable to Gypsies, migrating like locusts consuming everything in their wake! Free-loading parasites!

Besides, you don't victimize people and then turn the tables saying you are the victim when they respond.

...And I always say: oh look, there is another moron who is paranoid enough to think that it's an evil scheme set up by Jews in order to destroy the Poles. Thank God most ppl don't take that drivel not serious anymore.

Because the Holocaust is generally accepted as the Jewish genocide.

Which is the correct description. If you try to change it, you are dishonest towards history.

I never said it was an "evil scheme" nor implied it. Instead of trying to put motives behind my thoughts, try thinking instead.

I think the jews have claimed the exclusive publishing and movie rights to the Holocaust by now. That said, I agree with you that history should definitely be more accurate.

I'm against entering a frachnising business of Holocaust, Jews do it and its disgusting we definitely should not enter the rat race with those fockers

Someone had a different opinion to you and you suggest they drown themselves in a toilet!

Mind the bold sentences. Read them aloud and let them savour a bit. What'd you think? You didn't imply that there was some sort of scheme behind it by Jews? Maybe you didn't meant it like that, but if I were you, I would dearly pay attention to what I was writing.

They" refers to the powers that be

please, don't take this off topic

your title doesn't take into account other european jews.

Which is the correct description. If you try to change it, you are dishonest towards history.

Because the Holocaust is generally accepted as the Jewish genocide. Just like the term Porajmos stands for the Gypsie genocide. If you think it's necessary to keep nagging about it, invent your own term. Maybe Polonicide would be sth?

...And again a thread about "ahwww look at us, poor Poles, we have been so mistreated in the past, it nearly makes me cry".

oh look, there is another moron who is paranoid enough to think that it's an evil scheme set up by Jews in order to destroy the Poles. Thank God most ppl don't take that drivel not serious anymore.

If you try to change it, you are dishonest towards history.

If you think it's necessary to keep nagging about it, invent your own term.

Actually, that is not correct. Holocaust = Jewish, Porajmos = Gypsies. Now find your own term.

doesn't know what's going on but gets "Pissed off"

yet you despise the Jews,

Ever since my return from Poland It's pissed me off how much the holocaust is equated with the Jews, without even a token mention of Poles, 2 million of whom died at the hands of the Nazis, and whose culture and nationhood was the target for complete annihilation.

So I'm thinking of changing the wikipedia entry for "The Holocaust", which is defined there as

"the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany."

I want to change it to "The Nazi genocide of approximately 5 million Poles, of whom 3.1 million were Polish Jews, and 2 million were ethnic Poles." or something similar.
