The idea
Nazi racial ideology killed beyond the Jews: at least two hundred fifty thousand Romani, at least six thousand homosexual men, Jehovah's Witnesses and leftists, and almost twenty million Slavic civilians, Poles and Russians. The anchor counts the Slavs as Nazi mass murder, not the Holocaust itself.
In practice
Eleven million victims in all, the witness's total.
Where people slip
Figures the anchor's; the Romani count contested.
