Original Note:
The fact that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust is well-documented and indisputable. https://www.ushmm.org/antisemitism/holocaust-denial-and-distortion/evidence-documentation-holocaust https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-01-27/ty-article/6-million-where-is-the-figure-from/0000017f-da74-dea8-a77f-de761f480000 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_and_documentation_for_the_Holocaust The figure for the additional 5 million killed, however, is false. Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal created it out of fear non-Jews otherwise wouldn’t care about the Holocaust. https://www.timesofisrael.com/remember-the-11-million-why-an-inflated-victims-tally-irks-holocaust-historians/amp/ https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/non-jewish-victims-of-the-holocaust
