Not quite. 11 million people died in the holocaust.
You're probably thinking of the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered. 5 million Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, gay people disabled people, and others were also murdered.

According to Wikipedia, [1] at least 8.5 million non-Jewish Soviet citizens were massacred by the Nazis (both civilians and POWs), and also at least 1.8 million Poles. The victims among the groups you explicitly mentioned, by contrast, added all together number no more than 1 million. It is controversial, however, whether the term “Holocaust” should be used for all Nazi genocides and atrocities, or restricted to only include the Nazi genocide against the Jewish people.

"There were 11 million victims of the Holocaust (or 6 million Jewish victims and 5 million non-Jewish victims)
The number 11 million is a fictitious number on a number of levels. “11 million Jews” is the population census that is mentioned in the 16th copy of the Wannsee Protocol, notes taken by Eichmann (January 20, 1942), only about the Jews. The issue also seems to be the differentiation between victims based on NSDAP race policy versus civilian deaths during war (i.e.: victims of genocide or casualties of war) if the latter, the correct number is probably between 30-35 million deaths, maybe more. The death toll on the territory of the former Soviet Union is generally regarded to be about 27 million including Soviet military."
