A common claim among holocaust denial is that if Jews were killed, the 6 million figure is grossly exaggerated. A specific claim is that according to the World Almanac the world population of Jews increased (!) between 1933 and 1948 from 15,315,000 to 15,753,000. If the German government under Adolf Hitler had – as alleged – murdered six million Jews those losses should have been reflected in the Jewish population numbers quoted in the World Almanac.

Another question was why Churchill wrote so little about the Holocaust in his war memoirs. There were sound reasons for this. Intelligence restrictions were still in place on many aspects of the war, and war crimes trials were occurring. Also, Churchill had an understandable reluctance to criticize American officials such as John McCloy, who blocked his order to bomb the railway lines to Auschwitz.
