As in most countries, racism has existed in Poland in a variety of forms and to various extents over the course of its history. The Polish people themselves have been the victims of anti-Polish racism themselves under the German Empire and during World War II. ==Ethnic Poles== When part of Poland was under rule by German Empire, the Polish population was discriminated by policies influenced by racist thought that gained populartiy among German nationalists such as Volkisch movement, leading for example to "Expulsion of Poles by Germany". During World War II, Poland was under German and Soviet occupation. During this period Polish people were harshly discriminated against in their own country. The Nazi German regime had seen Poles as "subhumans" (''untermenschen'') that were fit only for slavery and extermination. Most of the Nazis considered Poles, like the majority of other Slavs, as non-Aryan and non-European "masses from the East" which should be either totally annihilated along with the Jews and Gypsies, or entirely expelled from the European continent. Poles were the victims of Nazi crimes against humanity, and also the main non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Approximately 2.5 million ethnic Poles were exterminated during World War II. Polish slaves in Nazi Germany were forced to wear identifying red tags with "P"s sewn to their clothing; sexual relations with Germans (''rassenschande'' or "racial defilement") were punishable by death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nazi policies on German women during the Second World War - Lessons learned from the First World War? )〕 During the war, thousands of Polish men were executed for their relations with German women. Poles were also the subject of ethnic cleansing during massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, then the territory of Poland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Racism in Poland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
