It's of course a fact that a lot of the people who died in the holocaust weren't Jews, but we must not forget that Jews held a special place in Nazi mythology and were targeted above anyone else. By implying that all the victims of the Holocaust were somehow targeted equally, the White House can avoid giving special mention to Jews, something that wouldn't sit well with some groups connected to Trump.
