What was the total death toll of Jews killed by the Nazis 1933-1945?

Answer 1

About 5.1 to 6 million Jews, according to the Holocaust Museum. Here is a list of estimated death tolls, including Jewish and non-Jewish groups, that were murdered under the Nazi holocaust:

5.1–6.0 million Jews, including 3.0–3.5 million Polish Jews
1.8 –1.9 million non-Jewish Poles (includes all those killed in executions or those that died in prisons, labor, and concentration camps, as well as civilians killed in the 1939 invasion and the 1944 Warsaw Uprising)
500,000–1.2 million Serbs killed by Croat Nazis
200,000–800,000 Roma & Sinti
200,000–300,000 people with disabilities
80,000–200,000 Freemasons
100,000 communists
10,000–25,000 homosexual men
2,500-5,000 Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 2

About 6 million

Answer 3

Approximately, 12 million died in the camps. Of these about 6 million were Jews, the other 6 consisted of physical or mentally impaired, slavic people, communists,gypseys,gays, political dissenters & any one else. Russian POWs made up a large %.

I agree, Odd Thomas is probably as close as you can get. I forgot about the Masons & JWs

Answer 4

essex - Why is questioning official numbers antisemetic??

Truth is, no one really knows the total death toll. It is estimated between 3-6 million people. Both are huge numbers of dead people....but it is also a 3 million person gap as well. Shouldnt that be questioned??? It is now known that many of the accusations against the germans were fabrications, propaganda from the Allies....it has been proven that Germans DID NOT make soap out of human (Jew) fat, but this was propaganda during the war.....If that isnt true, what else isnt true? Why is asking about it anti semetic??? Is asking how many Japanese were interred in concentration camps anti-Japanese???

Let us also recall that, in the 1930s in America, we were practicing something called Eugenics....sterilizing retards and hadicapped and criminals in hopes of breeding them out of society. Hitler got this idea to use on the Jews from US! We only stopped in 1939 when Hitler started using it against the Jews....

Answer 5

Sorry to ingnore your question - "Odd Thomas" above has it as close as anyone can get.

I'd like to address the question of whether questioning numbers who died is anti-semitic and, of course, seen in isolation it isn't and I don't know anybody interested in the subject who would say it was.

HOWEVER, in practice, the people who ask this question in public forums like this are overwhelmingly doing so in order to argue a deniers point of view, for anti-semitic reasons.

The argument goes something like this:

How many died?

If historians can disagree on how many who died, how can anyone be sure it happened at all?

Sometimes it takes a couple more steps to get that far, but that's what it boils down to.

This particular questioner might be entirely innocent - nearly everyone else who asks, is not.

Answer 6

The jews reckon about 6 million,yet little mention is made of the six million human beings that died besides them,slavs,gipsies,"political undesirables" etc.It seems that history has once again been rewritten by the jews

Answer 7

In excess of 6 million.

Answer 8

I find that the only people who want to keep asking this question are anti-semite holocaust deniers.
6 million is quite near enough for most purposes

It was a hell of a lot - a HELL of a lot.
It decimated a generation.. is that enough for you?

The 'soap' myth was debunked almost as soon as it was made....however the deniers keep on bringing this up as a lie that was spread about the nazis - in the hopes that this will make the rest of the accusations about them go away.
I repeat, the only people who *really* want to get down to the exact numbers are Holocaust deniers.
there is not enough room on a site like this to get down to the number of lies i have seen from deniers.... Deniers, just make me vomit

Answer 9

Whet her it was 1 or 7.000,000 is beside the point, the fact that humans can commit such atrocities is the issue to be addressed don't you think?

Answer 10

This question has been answered by Odd Thomas very well, but I must add that VB must be a very cold and unloving person.
