Best Answer

An estimated 11 million people were killed in the Holocaust, roughly 6 million of them being Jews. Other groups the Nazis targeted for extermination were people of Romani, Polish, Russian, or Slavic origin, Jehovah's Witnesses, the mentally handicapped, the physically disabled, POWs (especially Soviet), homosexuals, political leftists, and freemasons.

Note: People of colour were killed as well, but their killings were far less systematic than those of the groups listed above, so they are not classified as casualties of the Holocaust.
