Finally - 'Answer 9878' added some truth and intelligence to this forum! Virtually all the other comments simply regurgitate what they have been fed for many years by the media, and show their ignorance by their ridiculously uninformed comments. Yes, for 45 years Auschwitz proclaimed 4 000 000 were murdered there, but suddenly, when Communism fell and wartime documents were released, Auschwitz very quietly reduced the figure in 1990 to 1 500 000 in total - a massive reduction of 2 500 000 deaths. Inexplicably, the figure of 6 000 000 is still quoted, yet should now of course read 3 500 000. One of the reasons of course, is that Germany has paid reparations of over 61 Billion U.S dollars to Israel for the 'holocaust', but surely now almost half of that should be reimbursed back to Germany? In any event, even a figure of 3 500 000 is massively overinflated, and various estimated by historians over the years (including well know Jewish historians) have reduced the number down to 800 000, with the usually very reliable Red Cross giving a figure of a few hundred thousand. What probably nobody on this forum realises, is that the figure of 6 000 000 is quoted from a statement by the commandant of Auschwitz , 'Rudolph Hoss' who only gave this figure after extreme torture by his captives. His 'confession' itself was written in English, a language he never spoke. He himself said afterwards, " Six million? I may as well have said ten million! People are wiling to say anything under torture!" Other factors of which the public at large are unaware, and are well documented and uncontested: 1.) The 'gas chambers' at Auschwitz are fake and were consructed by the Russians after the war. 2.) 'Gas chambers' at Dachau and Ravensbruck which for many years were said to have killed tens of thousands of Jews, were suddenly pronounced not to have been used to kill Jews or anyone else, but simply to have been used as delousing chambers. This is corroborated by holocaust museums around the world, including the the Washington Museum, the largest in America. The question is: "What proof does Auschwitz have for homicidal gas chambers that Dachau and Ravensbruck did not have?" The answer is: None. 3.) Aerial photo's taken over five days by reconnaisance planes during the time at which Auschwitz was supposedly killing and burning up to 10 000 Jews per day with continuous plumes of smoke issuing from smoke stacks, show no such plumes of smoke from chimneys. 4.) The many thousands of tons of ash from bodies which were supposedly burned and buried nearby, have never been located. 5.) The two foot square holes in the roofs of gas chambers through which Zyklon B was supposedly poured, have never been found in these roofs. (There were gas chambers, but they were only used for de - lousing clothes and linen - hence the warning signs posted at Auschwitz -'One louse - your death!' Why would there be such signs posted when the main purpose of Auschwitz was to kill its inmates? 6. ) There were many children and elderly people at Auschwitz who were not killed. If it is true, as alleged, that people who were unable to work were killed en masse, why were young children and elderly persons not killed? Anne Frank, for example was 12 and she was released from Auschwitz. Her father was also released. She died of the disease Typhus (not gassing) at another camp, and her father died in Switzerland in 1980. Very strange, considering the camp was supposedly an 'extermination' and 'death camp'. The simple fact that there are still a number of holocaust survivors indicate that they were very young children when they were at these camps. 7.) There were six hospitals alone at Auschwitz, where inmates were treated. Simon Wiesenthal, the well known 'Nazi hunter' was treated at one of the hospitals when he hurt his leg. Why go to the trouble of treating people in hospitals, and then gas them shortly afterwards? 8.) There has never been a single autopsy of a body which had allegedly been 'gassed'. All evidence for the gassing of millions of Jews is from the testimony of witnesses, but investigators and historians have conceded that many of the inmates towards the end of the war who were starving due to food shortages, would have very probably been hallucinating and that their 'testimonies' could not be regarded as reliable. 9.) The photographs of piles of emaciated bodies which are always shown as evidence of thousands or even millions of Jews who have been 'exterminated', in reality means no such thing. They are evidence of victims of starvation and disease (which incidentally was due to American and British bombing of roads, bridges and railways in the final months of the war, and which led to very few supplies being able to be delivered to the concentration camps). Why are dead bodies in photos always emaciated and skeletal? If Jews were taken straight from trains and led into gas chambers by the thousands after arriving at Auschwitz as is often stated, why do photos not show piles of bodies which are at least fairly well fed? Upon arrival at Auschwitz (and other camps) all inmates had their heads shaved. Why would this be if they were to be gassed immediately, or even over the next few days? The reason of course was to prevent the spread of Typhus, carried by lice. In other words, it was for the inmates' own benefit. 10.) The story of Jews being turned into soap and lampshades is now acknowledged to have been utterly false fabrications. The myth of 'Jewish Soap' was also a Russian propaganda lie during the first world war, but was quickly dropped when exposed as a vile falsehood. All reputable historians now admit that the 'soap' and 'lampshade' stories were completely untrue. As rumours of Jews being turned into soap and their skins being used to make lampshade covers eventually became 'fact' , so the rumours of persons being killed in gas chambers became 'fact. There are many other points that I could mention, but I shall stop there. My comments above do not condone the killing of anyone, including Jews. Even if 'only' 10 or even 1 Jew (or anybody else) was purposefully killed for no reason it is a crime and tragedy. What is important, however, is that the truth prevails. Besides financial benefits (many survivors never receive money allocated to them by the state) the so called holocaust has been used as a political 'sword and shield' by the State of Israel and Zionists for decades, and as a reason to excuse themselves from any war crimes or actions against humanity which they perpetrate.
Approximately 3 million Jewish people perished in the Holocaust.
Thousands and thousands of jews died and approximately 3milllion jews died.
About 315 thousand jews died
I hope your all right as I need this for history course work
I believe it is 3-4 million because they counted bodies they thought to be dead and got 6 million. Besides they could not count all the numbers on their arms for it was in code (like just some random letters and numbers). And yes I do think this is very twisted. And to answer the person that's two above me Germany alone killed 12 million people. You forgot to count the Italians and the Japanese for they were part of the Axis Powers and against the Russians.
6 million
6 million 300 thousand
6,000,000 million jews
6 million Jews died during the holocaust but 11 million people died total.
5,830,000
An independent Swiss study found that, at most, 1.5 million jews could have been killed in the holocaust. It is not six million but still a sickening number.
Approximately 6 million jews died during the Holocaust along with millions of others that are non jewish like : Gays, blacks, gypsies, and foreigners.
6 million jews but the total was not eleven million the russians alone lost 20 million
About 6 million but no one can be exact
A lot of jews died......I know...it's very saddening
