What was the total number of people that perished in camps?
Just have a minute on FR - AFAIK, the numbers are something like 6 million Jews perished, and 10 or 11 million souls altogether. Could be 12 million, I'd have to look.
What, you think I'm a holocaust denier?
I'll post some excerpts from Pink Swastika later.
Keep in mind that many Jews were outraged when homosexual activists used the Holocaust Memorial to advance their agenda. Many Jews protested verbally and outside the memorial. They were disgusted that their sufferings and the attmpt to annihilate them as a people could be compared to the homosexuals' experience. Homosexuals were never targeted for extinction, only a tiny percentage of homosexuals in Germany were ever incarcerated in camps, they were not worked to death, many influential Nazis and even camp directors were homosexuals themselves, and so on.
I read the account of one old Jewish man who had suffered homosexual rape at the hands of camp authorities. He was outraged that homosexuals were attempting to compare their experience to the plight of the Jewish people under the Nazis.
