Toward the end of the war, when the NAZI's were finally aware that they would be defeated, the leaders were directed to destroy all record of the murders. A part of their conscence told them that they had committed evil acts.
As in the death camps, the NAZI's were efficient also in destroying records. As a result, estimates were made based on the number of Jews in Germany, Austria, Poland, France and other Axis occupied nations BEFORE the war and the number who were not found afterward. Family members reported who was taken away, Jews who were forced to work in the death camps kept a type of record, many NAZI war criminals were interviewed and a great effort was made to try to determine the number of people that were murdered. Over 5,000,000 people were killed
Presumably there have been acts of genocide that have not been recorded and are simply not known. In the 20th century there were: * The genocide of the Herero tribe in what was then German South-West Africa (commited by Germany). Death toll: about 65,000 (?). * The slaughter of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish government in 1915-1917. (Modern Turkey has excruciating hang-ups admitting this). Death toll: about 1.2-1.5 million.* The Nazi genocide of the Jews (1941-1945). Death toll: about 5.75 million. * Genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutus - Rwanda, 1993. Death toll: about 800,000.
Total Deaths*:
6,000,000 Jews
11,500 in all

Was Rwanda worse than the Holocaust?
It is difficult to say which of the 2 events between the Rwandan genocide or the Holocaust was worst. Both events were atrocious and in both events innocent people died and suffered. In the Holocaust a lot more people died than in the Rwandan genocide, 6 million as opposed to about 1 million, but the Rwandan genocide was a lot shorter than the Holocaust. In events like this you can't say which event was worse than the other one, both were equally bad and nothing like either of these events should ever happen again.
