You are right that millions and millions of Polish Catholics died, and millions of other non Jews in Europe as well, although sources I looked at quoted the number of non Jewish Poles as slightly less than the 3 million Jewish Poles. See this article about the terrible toll on the Polish people, especially the Catholic Clergy in Poland, during the Holocaust.

But there is still a reason that there is a special association of the Holocaust and its Jewish victims.
This quote from the article linked above, sums it up well:

If we must rank the Nazis' victims, it is only right to place the Jews first. They were the primary target of the Nazis. For as long as the Third Reich endured, they bore the full brunt of Nazi hatred. And when the Third Reich collapsed, six million Jews were dead, over one million of them children. The slaughter inflicted on the Slavs, the Gypsies and the other designated victims of the Third Reich was haphazard compared to the systematic annihilation of the Jews. Even the Nazis, those twentieth-century paragons of ruthless efficiency, could not fight a global war, administer occupied territory that covered almost the entire continent of Europe, operate a campaign of genocide against the Jews and cleanse Europe of the tens of millions of other "undesirables."
