This may be a silly question, but was it so much religious motivation as racial?
I mean there were as many Polish people killed at the hands of the Nazis are Jews.

I completley understand your point, but I'm not sure whether the fact that the racial group is also religious is a coincidence or the motivating factor. But the fact that Poles were persecuted too, possibly negates the religious motivation, no?
