The policy for ethnic cleansing didn't come into existence until 1941, so in 4 years the Hitler regime was supposed to have killed 2.5 million jews a year. Now in 4 years, in a massive industrialised compound like Auschwitz where they killed 20,000 people a day, they only managed to kill a maximum of 1.2 million people.

That clearly doesn't add up. Further more, where are all these bodies? They certainly weren't all put in the crematoriums.
Well the obvious answer to that question is that not all those who died in the holocaust died as a result of death camps. Others died as a result of starvation/exhaustion in works camps, ghettos e.t.c.

Anyhow why does race have to be such a big issue?. Now that we have a better understanding of genetics its been proven that, for example, a given white person can have more genes in common with a given black person then he does with another white person. Why interpret everything through this lense?
