Millions of Polish, Ukrainian and Russian gentiles and gypsies also perished in this black mark of humanity. There were more Polish gentile victims than Polish Jew victims.

I wholeheartedly agree... it is an abomination, but politics is politics, if you can profit from something, you do it. It doesn't matter whether it's a catastrophe or whatnot. There's no room for morals and humanity in cold, Machiavellian politics.
Plus, we all know that history is decided by the victors.
