I'm not a holocaust denier but there are some incredibly strange things and definitely lies about some of it. The thing I have issues struggling with lately is anytime we say 7 or 10 or 20 or 50 million people died in some historical event no one remembers. It is almost unfathomable how many people that is and I'm really starting to wonder if a lot of that is "rough estimates" that could be wildly off
The often quoted 6 million Jews is because 6 million is a magic number for Jews. I believe it is based on some gematria and one of their religious books.
Not sure what they base it on, but there was a newspaper clipping form around 1919 (not sure, but about that time). There was a claim of six million Jews being killed, but the story never got off the ground due to the impossibility of the numbers claimed.
Sauce, please.
I'd love to provide sauce, but I saw it more than a few years ago, and it was a photo of the article. That's all I got. You may want to do some online research and see if it still exists. I clearly stated that it was from an old newspaper clipping.
