The number is actually unknown, because there are so many mass graves and countless tons of ashes from the crematoria of the death camps. But the number is known to be in the teen-Millions. Most historians estimate the actual number of deaths in the Holocaust at around 11 million. Still an unbelivable number of people...my dad went to Dachau, near Munich, in the '80s and still thinks it is one of the most dreadful places he's ever visited, even though it was after the war. Just awful things that the Nazis did to all those poor people, and this is coming from a person of German descent. Many of my friends are Jews, and I cooperate well with them. It makes me sick to know that all this racial hatred has carried on into the 21st Century, more than 60 years after these events took place.
