Jewish deaths table

The table sort for the first column (Pre-war Jewish population) is sorted by alphabet and not numbers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalisky (talk • contribs) 08:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Other Holocaust victims

There's an unpleasant issue below the table as it says that there was 1.8 to 1.9 milions of ethnic Poles killed by the Nazis and it's not true. Actually it links to the "Nazi_crimes_against_the_Polish_nation" article where it is said in the very first sentence that the number of victims was 2.77 milions of Christian Poles (I assume the "Christian" is the "ethnic", yes?) in Poland alone (what makes almost perfectly half-half with the Jewish victims, which were in fact Poles as well). Can anybody please fix it? Thank you Agnes86 (talk) 22:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out, I made the following entry to fix the problem "According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum "It is estimated that the Germans killed at least 1.9 million non-Jewish Polish civilians during World War II." They maintain that "Documentation remains fragmentary, but today scholars of independent Poland believe that 1.8 to 1.9 million Polish civilians (non-Jews) were victims of German Occupation policies and the war." However the Polish government affiliated Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) in 2009 estimated 2,770,000 ethnic Polish deaths due to the German occupation (see World War II casualties of Poland).[1] --Woogie10w (talk) 23:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

On Wikipedia we must edit with a neutral point of view, which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. It is not our job to determine which reliable source is correct if they are in disaagreement. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Institute of National Remembrance are both reliable sources, we need to present both for readers.--Woogie10w (talk) 23:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Nazis vs Germans

There a lot of omissions in the article of the word 'German'. Instead constantly the word 'Nazi' is used. I would like to remind you that the wording 'German Nazi' should be in use as the standard. For example: German Nazi death camps, German Nazi concentration camps etc. The Nazis were Germans, came from Germany and spoke German. There was no country called 'Naziland' at that time.
