How many non-Jews were sent to concentration camps for helping the Jews? How many were put to death? If I read Gautam right, many people did fight the Holocaust with relatively minimal risk.
If that's what Gautam is saying, then I think I'll probably disagree. 6 million Jews and 12 million non-Jews died. I will hunt for online statistics on how many of those non-Jews were killed for helping Jews and let you know what I find.
