She is a brave young lady and can be proud of herself for standing up.

But I have a question.

She writes: To these Nazi sympathizers, who applaud the victimization of minorities, of Jews, who extol the brutal slaughter of 12 million people including whole branches of my family tree...

How did the Holocaust of 6 million people get to be a Holocaust of 12 million? Is she mistaken or using hyperbole? Or was she writing about some other slaughter of millions?

By including all the victims who weren't Jews?

Add in all the Poles, Serbs, Roma, Russians and a dozen other "non Arian" nationalities snuffed by the Nazis, and the total is 12 million. The Jews were their primary target, but not their only target.
