The official number of deaths today in the camps is 4.3 million people, not counting the so-called “Holocaust of bullets” on the eastern front, which according to orthodoxy is estimated at 1.5 or 1.7 million deaths. Were they all Jews? No way. Where were the 5 million non-Jews killed who allege they were also part of the genocide? If they were not cremated in the camps there must be mass graves somewhere like Poland as it is said that 3 million ethnic Poles were killed, if these were killed in the camps then "only" 1.3 million Jews could have been killed, perhaps less since a small % would be from other nationalities like gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, political prisoners, let's say 90% would be Jews, so little more than a million Jews could have died in these camps, however another problem arises, where Did the millions of captured Soviets die? In conventional prisons that were already crowded? It is known that more than 1 million Soviets survived German captivity and feared returning to the USSR that did not recognize Soviet prisoners, so they were inside the Reich and not in makeshift prisons in the USSR, where these 3.5 million people died and where are they incorporated in numbers?
So to answer your question, today it's at 4.3 million, not including Jasenovac which wasn't operated by Germans and Maly and ghettos like Warsaw.
There is a lot of numbers hurled around. But, when it comes to the evidential base to this, don't expect them to be too open with it. The technique is to feed folks with piecemeal information... Anything that makes the paradigm appear to be warranted in some way.
It's a masterpiece of deception based in self-deceit. Place some testimony sounding useful, place pictures that are shocking and repeat this over and over again... With time the incredulous will give in.
For the lack of evidence all kinds of excuses are offered:
* "The NAZIS destroyed all the evidence".
* Code Language in the Documents.
* "It was top secret."
At the same time they will claim that the Holocaust was the best documented genocide in human history. And well, 'we must trust the science'.
That someone is suspicious, because most of the info they come up with stemmed from 'psychological warfare' or is rather suggestive than supportive, will be dismissed. They count on emotional effect and that this will beat reason most of the time. And in that they aren't even that wrong.
