The Jews are now saying that they totally fabricated the figure of "5 million" non-Jews who allegedly died in the "holocaust", and that the real number of non-Jewish deaths was only "hundreds of thousands".
Well, if that is the case, then perhaps they ALSO fabricated the figure of "6 million" alleged Jewish deaths. And maybe the REAL number of Jewish deaths was also only a hundred thousand or so -- which would be consistent with Red Cross records which documented around 270,000 deaths in the German-run camps from all causes.

‘Remember the 11 million’? Why an inflated victims tally irks Holocaust historians
January 31, 2017
A social media post by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, includes a total of Jews and non-Jews killed in the Holocaust that historians say is greatly exaggerated. (Twitter)
WASHINGTON (JTA) — “Five million non-Jews died in the Holocaust.”[...]
It is, however, a number without any scholarly basis.Indeed, say those close to the late Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, its progenitor, it is a number that was intended to increase sympathy for Jewish suffering but which now is more often used to obscure it.[...]
The “5 million” has driven Holocaust historians to distraction ever since Wiesenthal started to peddle it in the 1970s. Wiesenthal told the Washington Post in 1979, “I have sought with Jewish leaders not to talk about 6 million Jewish dead, but rather about 11 million civilians dead, including 6 million Jews.”
Yehuda Bauer, an Israeli Holocaust scholar who chairs the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, said he warned his friend Wiesenthal, who died in 2005, about spreading the false notion that the Holocaust claimed 11 million victims – 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews.
“I said to him, ‘Simon, you are telling a lie,’” Bauer recalled in an interview Tuesday. “He said, ‘Sometimes you need to do that to get the results for things you think are essential.’”Bauer and other historians who knew Wiesenthal said the Nazi hunter told them that he chose the 5 million number carefully: He wanted a number large enough to attract the attention of non-Jews who might not otherwise care about Jewish suffering, but not larger than the actual number of Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust, 6 million.[...]
The number 5 million also adheres to no known understanding of the number of non-Jews killed by the Nazis: While as many as 35 million people were killed overall because of Nazi aggression, the number of non-Jews who died in the concentration camps is no more than half a million, Bauer said.
