During the years 1939 - 1945, there was an effort by Nazi Germany to kill all the Jews of Europe; six million Jews were killed, although a small number of European Jews did manage to survive.
About 965,000 Jews were murdered at Auschwitz.
It's quite agreed that about 270,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz in 1943. However numerouse people do say the exact figure is 270,342 Jews were deported to Auschwitz in 1943. ___________ This very low figure needs a source.
Jews were miinly sent to Auschwitz between 1942-1944 but some Jews were sent to Auschwitz in 1940-1941 and 1945.
Auschwitz was in Poland. Some 3 million people were estimated to have perished there.
They were gassed and then incinerated, how does that sound?
