They had work camps and farms, also known as concentration camps. There would be no other logical reason to take troops from the fighting to relocate hundreds of thousands of people hundreds of miles to kill them, when they could have been killed where they already were. Some of the people in the camps died from overwork, under feeding, or disease. They were cremated because of diseases.
6,000,000 is a totally bogus, pulled-from-the-ass figure that one guy made up and everyone else latched on to as fact. Census figures from before the war and after the war show very little change.
The Germans documented every little thing. Yet there is not even a hint of a mass genocide in any captured records. I have looked through reels of microfilmed documents at one of our fine national repository libraries. Most of it was boring. And yes, I studied German in college.
