According to the holocaust legend, Jewish prisoners who arrived at
Auschwitz between the spring of 1942 and the fall of 1944, and who were not
able to work, were immediately put to death and that no records were kept
of such deaths (even though all other deaths where recorded in detail). . .

7,000,000 Source: Also cited by the French War Crime Research Office.

6,000,000 Source: Cited in the book Auschwitz Doctor by Miklos Nyiszli. It
has since been proven that this book is a fraud and the "doctor"
was never even at Auschwitz, even though the book is often cited by
historians.

5,000,000 to 5,500,000 Source: Cited in 1945 at the trial of Auschwitz
commander Rudolf Höss, based on his confession which was written in
English, a language he never spoke.

5,000,000 Source: Cited on April 20, 1978 by the French daily, Le Monde.
Also cited on January 23, 1995 by the German daily Die Welt. By September
1, 1989, Le Monde reduced the figure to 1,433,000.

4,500,000 Source: In 1945 this figure was cited by another witness at the
aforementioned Höss trial.

4,000,000 Source: Cited by a Soviet document of May 6, 1945 and officially
acknowledged by the Nuremberg War Crimes trial. This figure was also
reported in The New York Times on April 18, 1945, although 50 years later
on January 26, 1995, The New York Times and The Washington Post slashed the
figure to 1,500,000 citing new findings by the Auschwitz Museum officials.
In fact, the figure of 4,000,000 was later repudiated by the Auschwitz
museum officials in 1990 but the figure of 1,500,000 victims was not
formally announced by Polish President Lech Walesa until five years after
the Auschwitz historians had first announced their discovery.

3,500,000 Source: Cited in the 1991 edition of the Dictionary of the French
Language and by Claude Lanzmann in 1980 in his introduction to Filip
Muller's book, Three Years in an Auschwitz Gas Chamber.

3,000,000 Source: Cited in a forced confession by Rudolf Höss, the
Auschwitz commander who said this was the number of those who had died at
Auschwitz prior to Dec. 1, 1943. Later cited in the June 7, 1993 issue of
Heritage, the most widely read Jewish newspaper in California, even though
three years previously the authorities at the Auschwitz museum had scaled
down the figure to a minimum of 1,100,000 and a maximum of 1,500,000.

2,500,000 Source: Cited by Rudolf Vrba (an author of various fraudulent
accounts of events he claims to have witnessed at Auschwitz) when he
testified on July 16, 1981 for the Israeli government's war crimes trial of
former SS official Adolf Eichmann.

2,000,000 Source: Cited by Leon Poliakov (1951) writing in Harvest of Hate;
Georges Wellers, writing in 1973 in The Yellow Star at the Time of Vichy;
and Lucy Dawidowicz, writing in 1975 in The War Against the Jews.

2,000,000 to 4,000,000 Source: Cited by Yehuda Bauer in 1982 in his book, A
History of the Holocaust. However, by 1989 Bauer revised his figure to
1,600,000.

1,600,000 Source: This is a 1989 revision by Yehuda Bauer of his earlier
figure in 1982 of 2,000,000 to 4,000,000. Bauer cited this new figure on
September 22, 1989 in The Jerusalem Post, at which time he wrote "The
larger figures have been dismissed for years, except that it hasn't reached
the public yet."

1,500,000 Source: In 1995 this was the number of Auschwitz deaths announced
by Polish President Lech Walesa as determined by those at the Auschwitz
museum. This number was inscribed on the monument at the Auschwitz camp at
that time, thereby "replacing" the earlier 4,000,000 figure that
had been formally repudiated (and withdrawn from the monument) five years
earlier in 1990. At that time, on July 17, 1990 The Washington Times
reprinted a brief article from The London Daily Telegraph citing the
"new" figure of 1,500,000 that had been determined by the
authorities at the Auschwitz museum. This new figure was reported two years
later in a UPI report published in the New York Post on March 26, 1992. On
January 26, 1995 both The Washington Post and The New York Times cited this
1,500,000 figure as the new "official" figure (citing the
Auschwitz Museum authorities).

1,471,595 Source: This is a 1983 figure cited by Georges Wellers who (as
noted previously) had determined, writing in 1973, that some 2,000,000 had
died.

1,433,000 Source: This figure was cited on September 1, 1989 by the French
daily, Le Monde, which earlier, on April 20, 1978, had cited the figure at
4,000,000.

1,250,000 Source: In the book, The Destruction of the European Jews, by
Raul Hilberg (1985).

1,100,000 to 1,500,000 Source: Sources for this estimate are Yisrael Gutman
and Michael Berenbaum in their 1984 book, Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death
Camp. This estimate was later also cited by Walter Reich, former director
of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, writing in The Washington Post on
September 8, 1998. The upper figure of 1,500,000 is (the new)
"official" figure as now inscribed at Auschwitz, with the earlier
figure of 4,000,000 inscribed on a plaque displayed from 1948 to 1989
having been removed from the memorial at the site of the former
concentration camp.

Despite a casual reduction in the number of deaths by 2.5 million the
number of Jewish victims who perished in the holocaust of World War II
remains unchanged at 6,000,000.

1,000,000 Source: Jean-Claude Pressac, writing in his 1989 book Auschwitz:
Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers. This is interesting since he
wrote his book to repudiate so-called "Holocaust deniers" who
were called that precisely because they had questioned the numbers of those
who had died at Auschwitz.

900,000 Source: Reported on August 3, 1990 11, by Aufbau, a Jewish
newspaper in New York.

800,000 to 900,000 Source: Reported by Gerald Reitlinger in his book, The
Final Solution.

775,000 to 800,000 Source: Jean-Claude Pressac's revised figure, put forth
in his 1993 book, The Crematoria of Auschwitz: The Mass Murder's Machinery,
scaling down his earlier claim of 1,000,000 dead.

630,000 to 710,000 Source: In 1994 Pressac scaled his figure down somewhat
further; this is the figure cited in the German language translation of
Pressac's 1993 book originally published in French. Again, this is
substantially less than Pressac's 1989 figure of 1,000,000.

135,000 to 140,000 Source: This is an estimate based on documents held by
the International Tracing Service of the Red Cross. It is known that
International Tracing Service has a complete set of registration documents.
This is thought to include a complete set of roll-call data which includes
twice daily tallies of those who died. Although the International Tracing
Service of the Red Cross has such records, they have never officially
published an accurate count of those who died, or even an accurate report
as to exactly which documents they hold. However, totals from these records
have been obtained by various interested parties.

The estimate of 135,000 is roughly corroborated by the "Auschwitz
death books." The death books themselves are wartime German camp
records, which were captured by the Soviets towards the end of the war, and
hidden in Soviet achieves, until released to the Red Cross in 1989.

The death books consist of 46 volumes which document each death at
Auschwitz (each death certificate consists of the deceased person's full
name, profession and religion, date and place of birth, pre-Auschwitz
residence, parents' names, time of death, and cause of death as determined
by a camp physician). The records for the most important years, 1942 and
1943, are almost complete (there are also a few volumes for the year 1941,
but none for the year 1944 or January 1945 (when Auschwitz was evacuated).

The Auschwitz death books contain the death certificates of some 69,000
individuals, of whom about 30,000 were listed as Jews.

Using all available wartime records from the various camps it has been
estimated that between 400,000 and 500,000 people died in the German
concentration camp system (from all causes).
