Does it really matter if 2M or 6M were killed? The fact that an entire race of people was targeted for extermination, regardless of the number, is what is at the heart of the holocaust. You know I wasn't there and I'm sure you weren't there and most of the naysayers weren't there. But I can tell you that I have a relative whose mother lost every single relative who did not make it out of Europe in a concentration camp. To make light of something like that is beyond disrespectful but I have never heard of anyone being jailed for voicing this view. I have heard of people being jailed for committing hate crimes. The difference is voicing an opinion versus committing an act.
