Dark conversation...the Holocaust was a far second place to the deadliest part of WWII.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by GP6971 (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

The Holocaust, including non-Jews (disabled, Romani, Slavs, &c.) killed is around 11-12 million…6 million Jews plus assorted others.

The Russians lost, between soldiers and civilians…around twenty-seven million people.

That's about 8% of the entire US population.

I don't really wonder why Russia and Germany hate each other to this day.
