Only half of the people who died were Jews.
There are entire small ethnic groups that no longer exist because the Nazi's decided they were less then human.
Goering bragged that by 1950 nobody would remember their names and he was part right.
We have to remember everyone, the disabled, gay, communist, Quaker, etc. in order to truly understand the broad scope.
The job that Judaism has taken on is to make sure nobody forgets.
