morty grab the calculator and start crunching some numbers

There is no difference between this board and /pol/ anymore
Chase Cooper
The Nazi Holocaust may have claimed up to 20 million lives, a figure far greater than previous estimates >previous estimates >estimates what

>drawing attention to more holocaust victims >/pol/
Chase Nelson
Obviously it's a fucking estimation, retard.
The Nazis didn't give them a literal figure which said this is how many of x died.
The figures rely on bodies found, death figures, photos, witness accounts, officer accounts etc. eichman documents
Elijah Turner
so is it 6 million or not

Eli Jenkins
We have such better tools now. I want to see studies of South American genocides.
Zachary Sanders
Is this just semantics? The definition of the holocaust has changed in recent years to only include the 6 million jews, in the past POWs, disabled, gays, political prisoners and minorities were counted too. OP is obviously trying to draw out the /pol/acks
Asher Torres
This study is recent, idiot.
Ian Sullivan
By the end of the century we'd have reached 100 million. I guess this is what happens when questioning the agree'd upon status quo is taboo and stigmatizing at best and illegal at worse.
Luke Peterson
And what does that mean now shitposter, they don't specify whether the new number is about the amount of jews killed or just the amount of people killed that would have been included in the old definition of the holocaust. They should clarify how broad their definition is.
Nathaniel Watson
6 million is just the Jews. The total number depends on what you count as part of the holocaust (were all those soviet pows starved to death victims of the holocaust or was it a separate war crime?)

Andrew Rogers
It was always ~15 million, if we include non-Jews
Joseph Cruz
You're the one lacking reading comprehension friend, they only reference to jews in the old number not the new in the new it's always 'people' rather than 'jews', this article seems to deliberately be suggesting that the new number is about jews without actually stating it is. Are you retarded or can't you see that this might largely be a game of semantics?
Henry Campbell
Read the OP.
William Walker
Yes and? >The Nazi Holocaust may have claimed up to 20 million lives, a figure far greater than previous estimates, new research has revealed. but >Up until now, the Holocaust is thought to have consumed between five and six million Jews, with an estimated further six million other people also murdered by the Nazi regime.
this doesn't sound right at all, it states that 5 or 6 million jews were murdered in the holocaust but that the Nazis ADITIONALLY killed 6 million people, seemingly excluding those deaths from the holocaust. Talk about suggestion.
Ayden Gray
>now >2013 Also that particular study was received very poorly in the scientific community. Stop sperging.
Aaron Ward
>it's a Veeky Forums doesn't know how science works thread
Easton Hughes
Around 11 million total, 6 million jews, the other 5 are slavs, gypsies etc
Leo Evans
I thought there were only 9 million Jews in Europe before the holocaust...
Joseph Hernandez
After all the Russians have survived at the hands of their German adversaries, it's difficult to believe that they had to be"exhorted" in order to kill them mercilessly.
