Well, I'm remembering general numbers from a research paper I did a
thousand years ago. But I found you a couple of sites (being both lazy
and encumbered by a sinus headache, I scanned the web rather than flip
through our books).

Here's a good URL for the specific subject of the non-Jewish Poles
killed by the Holocaust:
http://www.holocaustforgotten.com/

This is about the treatment of Poles under the Nazi regime, in general:
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/people/USHMMPOL.HTM

And this is the master site, A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust, from
which the preceding two were taken. Several of the sources listed in
their bibliography are the books I was too lazy to go down and flip
through:
