The number varies from something on the order of 9 million to 11 million, depending how the estimate is made. (There are no, nor can there be, any exact numbers.)
because otherwise they would have to answer why they did not help save the victims
Generally, no people do not support Hitlers actions.There are however some groups of people who deny any thing did happen and claim the holocaust is propaganda. There are also neo-nazi groups that support what Hitler and the nazi party did during WW II.
Answer this question… The United States was wrong to drop nuclear weapons on Japan during World War II.
He would probably tell them to ask someone what the Holocaust was, as this person clearly would not know.
The Jewish claim that Jerusalem is a holy city is much older and is completely unrelated to the Holocaust.
There are many Holocaust deniers out there who try to discredit what historians claim about what happened during the Holocaust, especially about whether 6 million Jews were really killed. However, there is overwhelming evidence, like testimonies by victims and testimonies during the Nuremberg trials, as well as Nazi documentation and photographs, and also eye witness accounts by Allied soldiers after they freed prisoners in concentration camps, which historians agree is undeniable proof that the Holocaust did take place. Usually any claims made that the Holocaust did not really take place or that it is being exaggerated is seen as anti-Semitism and in Germany it is actually illegal to deny or question whether the Holocaust took place.
No, but there are many people who know very little about the Holocaust who then spread exaggerated claims not knowing that they are spreading untruths, these include:- the claim that Hitler wanted to kill every Jew in the world [He didn't]- the claim that the Holocaust was the reason for the war [It wasn't]- the issue that the conditions in the concentration camps in 1945 was the same as the conditions in 1933. [they weren't]- the claim that concentration camps were established for the Jewish question. [they were not]- the claim that all/none of the German population knew about the Holocaust. [it is hard to tell exactly who knew, but generally those around the camps or railway stations knew others may have suspected]there are many more.._____Agreed. However, as the above inaccurate claims are made in ignorance (and not in malice) I would be inclined to call them misunderstandings. My reason for doing so is that some Holocaust deniers - that is, people who dogmatically deny the core facts of the Holocaust - also speak of 'exaggeration'.

Some claim that the Holocaust never happened, that is where the Myth claim comes in. They accept that many died, not the millions that we hear of, but claim it was a cost of war, forced labour, poor food, disease etc. People making this myth claim are generally suspected of trying to whitewash over Nazi attrocities for political ends.
Hitler claimed complete power in 1934, following the death of President von Hindenburg.
