Why isn't the number 11 million stated instead of 6 million for the holocaust?

The Nazis called their genocide of the Jews the 'Final Solution [of the Jewish Question]'. This term was, understandably, considered offensive by others, and gradually in the late 1970s the term 'the Holocaust' came to be adopted by historians. This term referred specifically to the estimated death toll of six million Jews.
For the other groups massacred the usual term was '[victims of] Nazi atrocities'.
However, when the U.S. embarked on creating the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum some other groups demanded the right to be included, and the figure (for all victims of Nazis atrocities) was hastily upped to 11 million.
The figure of 11 million is most unsatifactory as there is no explantion, even in outline, of how it was arrived at. If it supposed to represent the victims of Nazi genocide it is too high, and if it is supposed to include all victims of Nazi atrocities, it is too low.
There are, in effect, two competing definitions of the Holocaust.

One point four million generally means 1,400,000. The more accepted way to write the number as stated, however, is in scientific notation: 1.4 ×106 This is due to the fact that the precision of the number is specified to only two significant figures and the long spoken form would be "one million, four hundred thousand," while this notation best describes "one point four million."
