"But the conceivable flaming and resultant removal of my statement does not negate the possibility that 6,000,000 may be an inflated number"

In the 1950s, as acquaintance asked Adolf Eichman how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

Eichman thought for a minute. "Six million", he answered.

Now crawl back into the hole you came from.

So Eichman is your gospel huh?...How many Christians were killed?

Interesting. Would you provide a checkable reference for this claim? Since the actual number is unknown, and all claims are based on estimates drawn from far-from-perfect historical records, I wonder where (if the Eichman statement is verifiable) Eichman came up with his number? I've seen estimates from 4 to over 8 million, with 6 somewhere in the middle. Since the WWII European death toll was manifestly in the tens of millions, the "correct figure" whatever it is, falls into the second decimal place of the total death toll.

What makes the raw number, whatever its correct magnitude, more significant is the percentage of the total European Jewish population of the time this represents - - - and the fact that the intent of those who planned and executed the slaughter was total elimination of the Jews. Equally significant, I think, is that the attempt failed, as have previous attempts down through the centuries. Those who trust the Christian scriptures can be confident that any future attempts will fail too. God will always preserve a remnant, and their descendants "will be back" to hold the perpetrators accountable.
