FOUR BILLION
Jews were killed by the Romans in 135AD,
which was approximately
sixteen times the population of the
entire world back then.
SIXTY FOUR MILLION
children were wrapped up in Torah
scrolls and burnt.
But these weren't the earliest
Jewish exaggerations of their losses
Nebuzaradan, a commander in Babylonian
king Nebuchadnezzar's army, was also
responsible for
killing more Jews than there actually
existed when he destroyed the first
Jewish temple in 587BC
From the Babylonian Talmud Gittin
57B
"Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard killed two million one hundred
thousand,
and in Jerusalem he killed nine
hundred and forty thousand on one stone"
