Second to the Jews, the Nazis also rounded up Romani (also known as Gypsies) -- they were classified as undesirable non-Aryans, and like Jews, they had faced centuries of marginalization in Europe. The Nazis also systematically murdered people with disability as a eugenic measure. Freemasons, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses witnesses were also subject to being rounded up and murdered. There are difficulties drawing lines between the Holocaust and civilian casualties in general. It is estimated that the Nazis killed as many as 5 million non-Jewish Russian civilians, 3 million Polish civilians, and many others. Was this part of the Holocaust, or should it be classified as a different war crime?
