"In January 1933, some 522,000 Jews lived in Germany. "

I would be very interested to know how someone could kill six million of half a million people.

If you keep read the German history articles on Wikipedia, you may encounter little event where Germany expanded their territory (and as byproduct the number of Jews within).
As a student, you supposed to be able to find an answer.
There was this war going on where Germany conquered a large part of Europe and deported the Jews (and other "undesirables") from there into their KZs. You may have heard about it.

Add to that the German occupied areas in France, etc. and that Germany's allies like Italy also deported their Jews into the KZs.
You would have to kill jews in other countries. But Hitler never left Germay to invade other countries, so he couldn't have killed jews in, say, Poland.
It wasn't just in Germany, you idiot. It was all of France, Belgium, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and parts of Russia, too.
They also deported Jews from Italy (see Primo Levi).
And you might want to add Gypsies, communists, homosexuals, resistants and quite a few other categories.
Why not just go all the way, and claim that WW2, German Jews, and Germany never actually existed. It would make about as much sense.
Well for one thing, Jewish people are capable of reproduction, so their numbers definitely increased in a 12 year time frame.
Another, Hitler targeted all of Europe, not just Germany.
Funny, this numbnuts can use wikipedia to find the number of Jews living in Germany prior to the holocaust, but is too stupid to use it to find the nationalities of the 6 million Jews killed.
I would be very interested to know how someone could be so lazy and unable to think.
Look up Poland, and the USSR (especially Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics) on where the majority of the 6 million Jews lived.
Then look up Soviet P.O.W.s., Slavs, Romas, gays and Jehovah Witnesses; then research the Hunger Plan.
We can talk then when you don't sound like an idiot.
Because, as the same wikipedia will tell you, they anexed Austria, and invaded Polland and other countries. Is it ok?
All the Jews in France, Poland, the bits of Russia they got hold of, even sodding Guernsey all count, numbnuts.
Religion, and the bible.
A couple of Adolf's quotes:
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
