Scholars disagree on whether to also classify up to three million ethnic-Polish victims of German genocide as Holocaust victims. The extermination camps played a central role in Germany's systematic destruction of over 90% of Poland's Jewish population.Every branch of the sophisticated German bureaucracy was involved in the killing process, from the Interior and Finance Ministries to German firms and state-run railroads. German companies bid for contracts to build crematoria in concentration camps run by Germany in the General Government and in other areas of occupied Poland and beyond.During the German occupation, many ethnic Poles, at the greatest risk to themselves and their families, succeeded in saving Jews from the Germans. Polish rescuers represent the greatest number of persons, of any nationality, who saved Jews during the Holocaust.. The State of Israel has recognized 6,863 individuals as Polish Righteous among the Nations.A small percentage of Polish Jews survived World War II within German-occupied Poland or escaped east, beyond reach of the Germans, into the territories of Poland that had been annexed by the Soviet Union in 1939, only to be deported to forced labor in Siberia along with up to 1 million of Poland's non-Jewish citizens.
