6 million seems a bit high
I was thinking 5.666 Million too high
yeah, I posted for discussion. Some people argue it was 2 million or less. Some people argue there was a lack of an attempt at deliberate extermination, but there were more deaths due to disease and lack of supplies.
In contrast, you get Communists denying the Holodomor genocide happened at all. So either both communists and Nazis are wrong and lying and both genocides happened as the mainstream says, maybe each is respectively correct and they weren't as bad, or one was bad while the other wasn't. I assume the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The Holocaust is promoted more in my view because Jews tend to be more liberal, so it was more of a liberal tragedy, if it happened as it's thought to. This is why they don't promote remembrance of Communist or abortion tragedies which are magnitudes higher of death tolls of official numbers of Holocaust victims, since the left is sometimes openly or partially supportive of Communism or abortion.
Don’t think Trump created one, he spoke or issued a statement on a day already set to honor victims of communism.

And, yes there is a day for the remembrance of aborted children.

I personally knew a WWII veteran whose unit liberated a concentration camp. He didn’t talk about it much, but two parts of the story stuck out to me as a kid. The first was he and a team had to go through rail cars full of people who were killed in the camp right before they took over. He said the cars were crammed full and all they could do was estimate.
The other part of the story was most of his unit were so deeply affected by what they saw and many lost their appetite to a point they lost a significant amount of weight even though they were already very fit.
