20% of USSR Slavs and 60% of European Roma and Jews murdered in modified Hunger Plan/Holocaust

Despite the fact that the same percentage of Roma as Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, the Roma get little attention.

Perhaps this is because the world feels that 6 million dead is a 'bigger' crime than 600,000 dead ---- though the percentage loss to both ethnic communities was the same and the death of any one individual never trumps the death of another.

But what if the Germans had completely carried out their planned organized effort (THE HUNGER PLAN) to kill thirty million urban Slavs by starvation and privation as quickly as possible ?

(I should add that about the same number of people in Eastern Europe did ultimately die during WWII. Most by starvation and privation diseases caused by the German invasion and by later semi-deliberate German efforts to barely feed the Slavs, Jews and Roma that they did not otherwise murder by physical violence.)

Would the Holocaust now refer mainly to the huge number (30 million) of Slavs murdered, against the 'mere' 6 million Jews murdered ?

Before you answer 'of course, not' - remember that despite 60% of all the Roma being murdered, their wartime horror still remains almost unknown..
