That explained why there were around 900,000 survivors, estimated by the AMCHA (an organization in Hebrew for "your people/your nation)". What about the "6 million" who were allegedly gassed to death? You should be aware, 6 million is a Kabbalistic number. There has been record of them trying to push for a 6 million holocaust since 1869. Lets look at the worldwide population numbers to determine just how many died. 15,315,359 jews worldwide in 1933, 15,748,091 in 1938 and 15,753,638 in 1948.
