That depends upon your point of view:
You could say that (almost) everyone was a victim in the Holocaust, most of the perpetrators did not grow up wanting to commit mass murder.
You will find that as it is something of a personal choice as to who one includes as a victim, everyone has a reason for including or excluding certain groups.
What i say is that tens of millions of people have suffered because of the Holocaust, but only the Jews and the Gypsies were targeted for extermination. The gypsies should not be an afterthought in the Holocaust, they suffered an attempted genocide of their own and of the other groups, not even the Soviet POWs (the next most devastated group) came close to the level of abuse.
To include other victimised groups such as Jehovahs witnesses, who did have a great number of their people murdered, but could have walked free if they chose to betray their faith (a choice that the Jews did not have), or homosexuals who lost less than one tenth of one per cent of their numbers with the gypsies or the Jews is an insult. They and other groups were targeted and they did suffer, but it was on a completely different scale with different rules.
