Correction: It was actually 4 million that was listed on the entrance to Auschwitz and which was taught. I looked it up. For some reason I remember 4.5 million, but it was 4. Jewish and Holocaust industry "scholars" played stupid when the numbers were changed, but some flat out admitted they knew it was a lie and for a decade kept silent about it anyway. They blamed it all on Poles of course, because Jews never lie.

I never heard a plausible explanation of why the death toll being reduced by 3 million never changed the official 6 million number either. One excuse was that the 4 million lie included 3 million polish deaths, but I dont remember more than a handful of Polish deaths being mentioned when I was taught the 4 million number, so it had been implied that the 4 million were mostly Jews. Yet when it was reduced by 3 million no change to the 6 million number was made and people can still be prosecuted in some countries for disputing it.
