There were more than 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945.
There were 30,000 slave labor camps; 1,150 Jewish ghettos; 980 concentration camps; 1000 prisoner of war camps; 500 brothels filled with sex slaves; and thousands of other camps used for euthanizing the elderly and infirm, performing forced abortions, "Germanizing" prisoners or transporting victims to killing centers.
The best estimate using current information available is 15 to 20 million people who died or were imprisoned in sites controlled by the Germans throughout the European continent.
Simply put, in the words of Hartmut Berghoff, Director of the German Historical Institute in Washington, "The numbers are so much higher than what we originally thought; we knew before how horrible life in the camps and ghettos was, but the actual numbers are unbelievable."

I feel like I remeber this being discussed here on ATS, but in the opposit manner. Information sited from census reports of the time showed there wasn't even 6 million jews in all of Europe.

Maybe I could see 10-20 million all together with pows and everything included, but even then it seems a stretch. I honestly don't know what to believe when it comes to those events because those that do the most research on the topic tend to have their own agendas and such to leave me wondering how they skewed it in favor of what they want. I honestly feel like we shall never know the full scope of the events of the time...

A cigar and a star for you, crazyewok.

All i hear when it comes to the holocaust is jew jew jew jew and freaking jew.
Many non jewish died too! Gypies, gays, jehovahs witnesses, communists, NAZI political opponents, slavs, poles, russians, resistance fighters, concienuse objectors, kids that didnt join the hitler youth, the hadicaped, the sick, the lazy, the deformed.
I wouldnt be surprised if its not jews that make up the higher number but the above.
Hell i wouldnt be surprised if the zionists have encourged the lower number just so the jews can still be viewed as the primary victims!edit on 30-1-2014 by crazyewok because: (no reason given)
