dunno what this means, i recall 6 million jews, do you mean 60 mil christians in ww2??

17 mil for russia sounds right but where are the rest??

& keep in mind the low total number of jews, so the fraction lost (1/3) was much greater than any other group..

or maybe not, seems like 32+ mil unborn is about 1/3 of american unborns, so you may have a point..but you also get mine

The official figure of WWII casualties is 50 mln total, including military and civilian deaths. He is just ranting and rambling.

Re # 7....See:http://www.angelfire.com/ct/ww2europe/stats.html

There are varying number on Jews killed in this period of horror with the lowest I have found at 3.8 million. The most common figure used by most is 6 million.

There were approximately 60 million people who died (including the Jews mentioned and a mix of other religions) but by far the largest sector of dead were Christians. Also the low estimate on the total of those who perished was at 48 million, mostly in the USSR and including some 7 million in the Ukraine who were exterminated in a genicidal excess by Stalin.

A point usually ignored by most here on FR and elsewhere is that far more Christians were killed during the period leading up to and including WWII than Jews.

I believe Each life, Jew or non-Jew, was as good as any other and that there should be an equality in death for all-----I repeat---all of these people. All should be remembered and not just the Jews who represent a very small number of the total.
