    From what i gathered, most holocaust research indeed usually omits Jews killed for other reasons. Victims of purely political repression, for instance, especially the ones from before the whole thing officially started. And you know, Nazis did say one true thing about them: that is Jews being overwhelmingly left-wing back then. Do i even need to elaborate on the implications?

    Also, the hell is "Jewish Slavs"? Ashkenazi Jews are their own culture, with different language and identity.

      I'm talking about the discussion normally had that ignores the Soviet citizens murdered for lebensraum as part of the Holocaust. Also, the hell you mean what are Jewish Slavs? That's just Jewish people that lived in the Soviet union that get counted in the tally for the particular genocide of Jewish people, as opposed to other Soviet civilians. I'm really not sure what you're trying to get at even.

        Yes, and i was just adding to that.

        As for the other thing, i'm pointing out that the word "Slav" refers to people of particular language/culture group. Not everyone from eastern europe is a Slav, you know? It makes as much sense as calling indigenous Americans or Chicanos "Anglos".

          Yeah, sure I get ya. Non-jewish Soviet citizen would probably be the more precise way to describe what I mean, which is just people living in that geographic area. Though I suppose to the Nazi genocide machine, everyone east of Berlin was a Slavic judeobolshevik or some other such drivel.

          I do think it's a bit reductive to say that Ashkenazi Jews throughout the European diaspora wouldn't have different subcultural characteristics that are related to the cultures they reside around. It's not like that's a monolithic ethnic group any more than another continent spanning group.
