But no one uses this definition of "Holocaust". The real definition of Holocaust that society accepts is that 6,000,000 or more Jews were killed by Nazis. Those who believe 5,999,999 or less died are holocaust deniers.

But I personally believe that the German government killed Jews in WWII. I have distant relatives who were killed in similar circumstances so I know governments are capable of doing this. But Jews also claim that they were persecuted far worse than any other minority in history, which I am not certain about. From what I read the Armenian genocide was as bad or almost as bad as the Holocaust, but it doesn't seem that way to the average person since Armenians do not complain nearly as much as Jews.

did you read the mainstream version of the Armenian genocide? Because there's propaganda around that too.

I made this thread in response to this thread. Yes the Jewish lunatics insist on the 6M number, while the alt-right lunatics insist on some very low number. The truth is presumably somewhere in the middle, maybe a few million. Anyway, the point is that everyone is crazy these days, on both sides.

The Armenian genocide (followed by the Greek and Assyrian) was worse by far, as the victims weren't placed in camps where they were supposed to be interned till the end of the war but instead were put to death while many girls were imprisoned in harems that still existed in Anatolia.

The Young Turks who implemented those genocides were donmeh, cryptojews of Thessaloniki. One century before that, the Jews of Thessaloniki had played a vital role in the Holocaust of Naoussa.
