Himmler was the first to announce that 6million figure. He did it publicly in late 1944 in from of something like (going from memory) 162 prominent Nazi party members and military men who were said not to have known anything about the program to kill jews before this. There was silence in the room. Did Himmler inflate the number, possibly. However, the Germans were (and still are) meticulous record keepers. The holocaust happened for sure, pick a huge number, but it was shitloads of murdered jews, gypsies, homosexuals, communists and other enemies of the state.
I suspect there are maybe 5 other Voater folks, regular working folks and also not jews, who don't buy into the standard Voat horseshit of Jew hate. V/IStandWithTheJews
I have lived in Germany (West Germany actually) and had the benefit of working and drinking with real Nazis, former SS men (one was a former SS Colonel) , and Holocaust Survivors- tattooed forearms and PTSD off the charts. None of them ever challenged that number. Not saying Jews are perfect, there is truth in the critizems of them on Voat, but people sure let their imaginations run wild on the internet.
