We are told that 6 million Jews died in the camps.
Deniers say it was less if none at all.
Some Jewish historians agree on 2.5 million.
Where does the total figure of 6 million come from?
How was that figure arrived at?
Where acurate records kept or is it a "guesstimate"?
I found this but is just an estimate.
Estimated Number of Jews Killed in The Final Solution

Or is this a number that will never be agreed on by either side of the debate?
Please don't think I'm "trolling" just "thinking out loud" so to speak.
