Thets interesting information, but you could have worded a different way. They aren't wrong with our linguistics of today, just as a linguistics headsup. It's interesting that there were different names for these different acts, but it doesn't change anything about what they said.

Not trying to refute that the holocaust was primarily about the genocide of Jewish people (which is true), but just adding some additional details about lgbt persecution around that time many might not be aware of.

The nazi laws used to persecute lgbt individuals were only repealed in part in 1969 in west Germany and 1968 in east Germany. Many lgbt individuals imprisoned by the nazis were left there after World War 2 and not freed like other groups. They continued to be imprisoned well after World War 2 (about 50,000 in west Germany between 1945 and 1969). The laws weren't fully repealed until 1994, and judgements not annulled until 2002. Until more recently they were not acknowledged among the victims. Jewish individuals or political prisoners that were also discovered to be lgbt were even made ineligible for survivor benefits. Victims only began to be offered some sort of compensation in 2017. I'm also not trying to insinuate that Germany was the only country with these kinds of attitudes, which were and are still very widespread in the world of course.

The point is that it isn't an excuse to do settler colonialist genocide and that were it any of those groups making the demands israel does with regards to backing off of its human rights violations, people would rightly say so.

So... I guess you tried to make a different point but what came across for me is that much more Russians were killed than Jews

Posting something like this would really make me reflect on myself and how I value other human beings.
