Interesting how the "Jewish Holocaust" has its own category. Is there something special about Jewish deaths? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.239.106 (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Are you just trolling, or is there a point to your question? Nick-D (talk) 10:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany. Two-thirds of the population of nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust were killed.--Woogie10w (talk) 10:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure that the Holocaust should be included in World War 2 casualties; it wasn't a result of military action, as Civilian casualties suggests. 70.71.166.230 (talk) 03:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest finding a reliable source that would even suppport the nothion that the war and the mass genocides that took place during it (and because of it), should be seperated.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
