Definite numbers of those killed in the Holocaust (Jews and non Jews) will never be known for certain. But the Nazi state was very much into record keeping. So much so that even a short review of the surviving documents shows that millions of Jews were put to death in the camps.
A bit hard to dispute that. I mean they would write up the numbers of men, women, and children, their clothing size, and any personal effects seized. Now in the Eastern front right after the Germans over ran Eastern Russia, the records aren’t very good because of the nature of the time, but there are plenty of Russian historians who have excavated the mass graves.
The funny thing is that many try to say it was only a few hundred or thousand. Which begs the question “Then where the heck did 10 to 12 million people go? To Mars?” Now many Arabs will say “TO ISRAEL!”, but the numbers aren’t even close to matching up.
I spent a rather frustrating afternoon talking with a guy who thought way, two days after I talked with an older man who had been among those who liberated one of the camps.
Hutton Gibson answered that a few years ago, to paraphrase, just look around you, in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Sydney. I always figured they were hanging out in the Caribbean. Side by side with the millions on non-Jews who weren't killed. Deniers and their supporters never seem to address that. Didn't gas Jews, didn't shoot Jews, OK, what about the missing Christians?
