Cinema showed Polish Gentile victim of Auschwitz as "victim of Shoah" promoting a movie about Jews

[Peterski]

German cinema "Babylon" showed a photo of Czesława Kwoka - an ethnic Polish, Roman Catholic, Gentile victim of Auschwitz - as a "Jewish victim of Shoah". The movie is exclusively about extermination of European Jews, and does not mention anything about 3 million Polish Gentile victims, so why did they use a photo of an ethnic Polish girl to promote it?:

"A banner in the German cinema "Babylon" was noticed and photographed by Cezary Gmyz, a TVP correspondent in Germany. In the heart of Berlin, the Polish girl Czesia Kwoka, murdered in Auschwitz, was depicted as a victim of the Shoah. By implication, a Jewish woman. This is very unpleasant - he wrote.

It's annoying (...) I'll get in touch with the producer of the film- commented on the matter of co-author [as part of the Faces Of Auschwitz project] of the coloration of the famous photo of Czesia Kwoka Marina Amaral

Well, that's annoying. What was said to me is that this was a movie about the Hocaust.- Marina Amaral (@marinamaral2)27 September 2018

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czesława_Kwoka

"Czesława Kwoka (15 August 1928 – 12 March 1943) was a Polish Catholic girl who was murdered at the age of 14 in Auschwitz. One of thousands of child victims of German World War II crimes against Poles in German-occupied Poland, she is among those memorialized in an Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum exhibit, "Block no. 6: Exhibition: The Life of the Prisoners".[1][2]"

Could it be they're, rightly, highlighting all victims not just Jewish ones?

Maybe. But AFAIK the movie mentions only Jews.

History is written by victors, does not apply on Jews XD XD

Pity.

Isn't Holocaust a more acceptable term that includes also Non-Jewish victims?

While Shoah is a term that implies we are only talking about Jewish victims.

Someone at the cinema screwed up, apparently.

Yes, generally that is correct. I think some Jews tend to think they have a patent on suffering during the Holocaust though (although Jews were targeted more than other groups generally).
