Yes...you obviously know your history. Jews were loaded onto trains going west, Poles onto trains going east. Jews went to concentration camps, Poles to gulags.
Both of the places were tools of the devil, designed to obliterate a group of people. Equal evils committed by different groups. Nazis killed Jews and Poles, predominantly Jews, but Russians killed Poless and Jews, predominantly Poles.
Polish sons with blonde hair and blue eyes were taken from their mothers and given to German parents. For years, even before WW2, Russians practiced "Russification" of all people under their control, including Poles.
The Holocaust should represent all evil deeds committed in the 30s and 40s. No one group should claim they were the only ones affected. Anything not Aryan was believed to be sub-human by the Nazis; that means Slavs, gypsies, Jews, etc.
Anything not white and Christian was expendible to them and were eventually going to be destroyed if they had their way.
Jews were not the only victims. Poles were not the only victims. The museums should be dedicated to all victims and to those who fought bravely to save them.
