Statistics on the Holocaust
It is estimated that 2 million were killed by the Einsatzgruppen,* 3.3 million in the gas chambers,** and about 500,000 died in the ghettos of Eastern Europe of hunger, disease, and exhaustion, and as victims of random terror and reprisals. See Lucy S. Davidowicz, The Holocaust and the Historian (1981), pp. 12-13.
*Einsatzgruppen, special duty troops of the SS’s security service and security police, were assigned to each of the German armies invading the Soviet Union. They rounded up the Jews and killed them. The Jews were loaded on trucks or marched to remote areas. They were machine gunned into natural ravines, antitank trenches or the mass graves they were ordered to dig.
**Later, starting in 1942, the Nazis contructed six installations with large scale gassing facilities and with crematoria for the disposal of bodies. They were Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka. All were located in Poland. Gilbert notes that 1,500,000 Jews were murdered at Auschwitz; 360,000 at Chelmno; 250,000 at Sobibor; 600,000 at Belzec; and 840,000 at Treblinka. See Martin Gilbert, The Holocaust (1985), p. 257, n. 6.

And I do agree with you...not all germans were Nazi's. Nazi's were the ruling party at the time. Nazi's represented germany to the world stage. Such as Democrats currently represent America at this time. Nazi is an idealogy. I'm saying to remember what 'the' Nazis did...but also what they stood for. For if we do not know our history...we are doomed to repeat it.
---I think when 5N34KYK1LL wrote 'overall the nazis were considered the worst thing that has happened on the planet'...he also said 'overall'. Key word there. He didn't say they were the worst...but even so if he 'feels' that they are the worst...then good for him.
---Yes alot of technology was derived from German scientists. Russia and America grabbed the majority of them. Yes it was those scientists that helped both countries get into space. Their V-2 rockets they were lobbing onto Britain are considered the forerunner of modern day Scud Missles. And yes they did teach. Technologically...Germany was the most superior country in the world.
---One last thing...The Holocaust refers to the effort by the National Socialist (Nazi) Government of Germany between 1933 and 1945 to exterminate the Jewish people.
