about 6 millions maybe more but that what it say on my book it was called The Holocaust


The Holocaust, also known as Ha-Shoah (Hebrew: השואה) (Yiddish:האַלאָקאַוסט Halokaust, or more properly חורבן Khurbn) and the Porajmos or Samudaripen in Romani, is the name applied to the state-led systematic persecution and genocide of the Jews and other minority groups of Europe and North Africa during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators.[1] Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of the 8th and 9th November 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, leading to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

The Jews of Europe were the main victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" (die Endlösung der Judenfrage) or "the cleaning" (die Reinigung). The commonly used figure for the number of Jewish victims is six million, though estimates by historians using, among other sources, records from the Nazi regime itself, range from five million to seven million. Millions of other minorities also perished in the Holocaust in addition to this figure.

About 220,000 Sinti and Roma were murdered in the Holocaust (some estimates are as high as 800,000), between a quarter to a half of the European population. Other groups deemed "racially inferior" or "undesirable": Poles (5 million killed, of whom 3 million were Jewish), Serbs (estimates vary between 300,000 and 700,000 killed, mostly by Croat Ustaše), Soviet military prisoners of war and civilians on occupied territories including Russians and other East Slavs, the mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists and political dissidents, trade unionists, Freemasons, Eastern Christians, and Catholic and Protestant clergy, were also persecuted and killed. Many scholars do not include the Nazi persecution of all of these groups in the definition of the Holocaust, with some scholars limiting the Holocaust to the genocide of the Jews; some to genocide of the Jews, Roma, and disabled; and some to all groups targeted by Nazi racism.[2] Taking all these other groups into account, however, the total death toll rises considerably, estimates generally place the total number of Holocaust victims at 9 to 11 million, though some estimates have been as high as 26 million.[3]

Systematically, approximately 6 million, in death camps and by the travelling Einsatzgruppen who roamed conquered Eastern Europe shooting, gassing and encouraging progroms by the native inhabitants.

I'm not sure if this figure includes the people who starved to death in the ghettos or who killed themselves when the orders came to move out East.

It does not include the innumerable Poles, Russians, Ukrainians and other Eastern Europeans, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma, Sinti, and the mentally and physically handicapped of all nations who who were murdered during WW2.

The historically accepted number is 6,000,000.
The Nazi also executed homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled people, and anyone they considered to be flawed.
