I notice the word "million" gets tacked on to sentences to really mean "I want you to think it's huge." As an example, Terry McAuliffe added "million" when he fabricated that 93 million Americans die every day from gun violence (cnn.com). Of course, the lap dog media didn't mention it until much later. Even the number 93 per day was absurd. Numbers are fabricated out of thin air, like our fiat currency to stir our emotions.

This will be a disappointment to those people who delight in genocidal gore-porn.

and half of those tallied were russian, ukranian, polish, romanian, bulgarian, gypsies, etc.

271,301.

That tracks closer to what I remember originally learning. I have a vague recollection of 250K being the 'real' number.

EDIT:

Many important stories are vying for my attention. I have a backlog of numerous links. However, many long-time readers will be interested to hear claims from Poland that the Red Cross counted the total number of deaths in concentration camps. Considering the volatility of the topic, this might get the blog taken down altogether, so be sure to save a backup copy of anything that interests you.

Good thing you archived the site!
