Its a trap. I grew up in NY and personally knew many people who survived Nazi death camps. The concentration camps were real. As for the number killed, its kind of irrelevant to the people who suffered.

So lets say there was only a million killed and the number is inflated 600%. It doesn't change what happened to the million. Sure, it's propaganda, but its a losers argument to have. It's like finding a rape victim and then arguing with them about how many times they were raped. You still look like the asshole, and when you think about - does it matter how many times the victim was raped? Was it only three times and not the eighteen times they are claiming?

Nazis really did all this shit to Jews. Arguing about the details is a distraction and makes you look like a Holocaust denier. I spent years working in tech with old Russian Jews who would, with great sadness, tell their stories. They all lost tons of family. They all survived camps. They mourn those who didn't survive. I guess someone could try to convince me that all these people I have known and loved all made up their stories, and that they for some reason chose working class life as immigrants to NYC in exchange for getting to pretend something awful happened, but I think I can tell when people are lying and so I believe them.
