	Maybe a few alternative answers for disabled? I tried mentally challenged, mentally handicapped, physically challenged, physically handicapped, physically deformed, insane, sick, diseased, psychotic before I just gave up :-/ not all of them should be accepted but a few alts would be nice. I mean I knew what it was I just couldn't find the word.

	It's problematic to use "the Holocaust" to refer to anything beyond Hitler's campaign to exterminate the Jews (and, arguably, the Romani). He killed lots of Soviet POWs, Poles, homosexuals, etc., but those usually aren't described as "the Holocaust".

	What is the source of your data? I am not challenging its accuracy but it is reassuring to have sources listed.

	You forgot political prisoners

	@johnlk: That's somewhat true, as there is debate. I would argue that all victims killed in Nazi Germany were victims of The Holocaust. The Germans treated western POW's in accordance with Geneva Convention, showing Himmler had a plan for the Soviets.

	Agree about political prisoners. Although I eventually got the answer for POWs perhaps Slavs should be an answer in its own right.

	Wouldn't this be better as a History rather than a Geography quiz?

	I second the motion this guizz should be under history. Hitler did also target the black race but I'm not sure if there were any that the Nazis killed.

	Don't forget the Communists, trade unionists, Catholics, Czechs, and other non-Germans.

	Hey come on, you won't accept handicapped or mentally ill for "disabled"? Or Russians for "Soviet POWs"? Soviet is Russian, or was at least. And you should add communists or socialists, meaning the ones in conquered territories or within Germany who were not always Soviet.

	source is wikipedia, you need to include that because you basically copied.

	tomcono:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 19:25 GMT		1 point
	Freemasons should be included as well.

	@johnlk: If you want to refer only to the mass murder of Jews, you should uses Shoah or even less ambiguous the Final Solution. Obviously Jews were the main target but there really isn't another term to describe all groups the Nazi's exterminated. I might agree that you could exclude Soviet POW's as, while still indescribably despicable, was somewhat different as it was crimes against a belligerent, rather than civillians (though I'm guessing civilians were swept up with the POW's). On the other hand you could use something like cleansing of Untermensch, but that term can be viewed as buying into the Nazi's eugenics policy.

	It does get difficult to define who was targeted as a group and who was targeted for being opposed to the regime or being an enemy combatant. For my part, I would add Polish priests, since the documentation and history indicates that there were specifically targeted for merely being Polish priests.

	I think Slavic people should be an own cathegory. Also, transsexuals? Black people/every other non-aryan race? And people with other political opinions, especially socialists? Also, I think you at least should separate "physically disabled" and "mentally disabled", because that includes a lot of people in different conditions, everything from gout to schizofrenia.
