  Traian Popovici - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1941, the new governor announced his decision that all the Jews of Cernăuţi must be deported to Transnistria.
After talks with the governor, he agreed that Popovici would be allowed to assemble a list of 200 Jews that may be exempted from the deportation.
Unsatisfied with the results, he tried to talk directly with Ion Antonescu, this time arguing that the Jews were an integral and important part of the Cernăuţi's production and that he would have to halt it until other people would be found to replace these Jews.

 The Holocaust - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Shoa is preferred by many Jews and a growing number of Christians and other people due to the theologically offensive nature of the original meaning of the word holocaust as a reference to a sacrifice to God and also due to scholarly insistence that this largely archaic meaning somehow tilts the present meanings.
There is also concern that the particular significance of The Holocaust would be lessened as it becomes increasingly popular in the latter half of the 20th century to refer generically to any mass killings such as the Rwandan Genocide and the actions of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia as 'holocausts'.
During Operation Barbarossa, the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Red Army POWs were arbitrarily executed in the field by the invading German armies (in particular by the notorious Waffen SS), or were shipped to extermination camps for execution simply because they were of Slavic extraction.

 Oskar Schindler, rescuer of Jews during the Holocaust
Who was this Oscar Schindler who started by earning millions of German marks through exploitation of slave workers and ended by spending his last pfennig and risking his life to save "his" 1,200 Schindler Jews from Hitler´s death camps?
When Schindler requested that those Jews who continued to work in his factory be moved into their own sub-camp near the plant "to save time in getting to the job," Goeth complied.
In this way, the 1,098 workers who had been written on Schindler`s list in connection with the removal avoided sharing the fate of the other 25,000 men, women and children of Plaszow who were sent without mercy to extermination in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, only 60 kilometers from Plaszow.
