Since they were specifically killed for who they were, there's a very solid argument to be made for leaving "almost" off
There is probably a good case to be made following the definition of the genocide convention. But there was still a clear difference in treatment between jewish pows and non jewish pows. Jewish pows were simply shot outright (as well as any pow with a political role), it went even so far that they just shot anyone that was circumcised upon being captured.
