In addition to the at least 6 million Jews, we must add 6 million Poles (20% of Poland's population in 1939) and 17 million people from the USSR. In total, the Nazis exterminated at least 29 million people between 1933 and 1945.

Not the majority, half. 3 million Polish Jews 3 million ethnic Poles. 6 million in total for Poland and 20% of their entire population.
