Original Note:
The letter states that 6 million Jewish people were murdered. 11 million includes non-Jewish deaths. From the letter: "Actually, about 6 million Jews and about 5 million non-Jews were murdered by the Nazis. The others included Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, gay men, et al." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/11-million-not-6-million-died-in-the-holocaust/2017/05/26/6fdcc270-3f1c-11e7-b29f-f40ffced2ddb_story.html https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution
