Non-Jewish Deaths In World War II

Non-Jewish Deaths in World War II
All though many people believe that the Jewish were just about the only victims in the Holocaust, they don’t realize that all the victims as a whole, almost triple the Jewish amount of deaths. This is important because for those who lost their lives should never be forgotten.

Even with all the lives lost during the first bombing most of the government officials of Japan wanted to continue the fighting with the Allies, but soon after America dropped the second bomb then about 25% of the Japanese officials wanted to continue the fighting. The main reason they did this was so they could “keep” the pride of their leader, Hideki Tojo. He on the other hand he refused to continue the major losses of his people, because even after the second bomb America was arming and ready to deploy a third atom bomb.
