Depends on if we want to talk total numbers, or percentages of loss.
Poland lost about 18-20% of it's population in WWII unless I am mistaken.
About half of all Armenians died during the Ottoman Empire genocides in Turkey alone.
100% of Cambodian Viets died in Cambodia, half of Chinese Cham during Pol Pot and that's a portion of total murders.
Rwanda genocide 70% of Tutsis killed.
40% of Congo's Pygmy killed. I've seen this first hand.
Myanmar, right now has murdered over 40,000 Rohingya, I don't know the percentage.
Given that understanding, that doesn't erase the wrong done to the Polish. Even making the statement that
Nobody had it worse than the Polish
Statistically incorrect, which your post appears to have done, doesn't diminish the horrors visited on the Polish. Mankind is able to visit atrocities on others with enthusiasm and efficiency.
Sometimes they are even able to convince certain people it's an act of
Humanitarian Intervention...
