Fraudulent Soviet evidence was admitted as fact at Nuremberg

That may or may not be the case, but either way, the fact that many early estimates of deaths (especially those made by the Soviets) were exaggerated has been known by historians for decades, and already accounted for. If we accepted the early, exaggerated figures given by the Soviets, we'd be talking about 20 or 30 million deaths, not 15, and 10 million dead Jews, not 6.

But we don't. Those early exaggerated figures are irrelevant now.

You don't need to trust the Soviets. As above, historians have already rejected a lot of Soviet misinformation about the camps.
