There are known to have been six million Jewish victims. Millions of these have been documented and recorded. In addition, five million non-Jews were also killed in the concentration camps.

Jews were not the only ones sent to concentration camps and later killed. 'Aryan' or not, homosexuals, Polish citizens, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, and many resisters were killed as well.

How many non jewish civilians were murdered during world war 2?

The NAZI's were very efficient in killing the innocent Jews. By definition, the Jews who were the victims of the Holocaust were all non-combatant German, Austrian, Polish etc. citizens. None of the others killed in the war were categorized as Holocause victims. The NAZI's were also very efficient in destroying their records. We may never have an exact number of Holocaust victims. We can only estimate, based on the size of the graves, the number of skeletons found, the number of German/Polish/Austrian, Jewish citizens before the war compared to the number found after the war.
