Yes, regardless of the reason for their imprisonment, anyone who lived through and witnessed the horrors of concentration camps and other forms of persecution during the Holocaust is considered a Holocaust survivor. This includes individuals who were not part of a targeted minority group but were still imprisoned and suffered persecution as a result of the Nazis' policies.

It's important to recognize that the Holocaust was a complex and multifaceted event that affected millions of people across many different groups and nations. While the Nazi regime specifically targeted Jewish people and other marginalized communities, many others were also affected by this period of history. As a result, the term Holocaust survivor can apply to people of many different backgrounds and identities who experienced persecution and trauma during this period.
