Non-Jewish edit

The correct term for "non-Jewish" is Gentile, not Aryan. Some Poles were Aryan but many were also Slavs, so it wasn't "Jewish vs. Aryan", it was "Jewish vs. non-Jewish" since on the non-Jewish side you had Aryan, Slav and really anyone. And the correct term for "non-Jewish" is Gentile. Gentile is also the historically correct term used at the time and used in history books, at least when speaking from the Jewish POV. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:00, 3 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
