note that the Wannsee Conference was only in January 1942

I still don't see how 6 million Jews were killed when the totals before and after do not add up. *Shrugs*

the death tolls are all estimates, and depending on which pre-war and post-war estimates you get you'll get a different number

usually between 5-6 million

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/02/09/europes-jewish-population/

if you use the ones on this website you get a european jewish population decline of 5.7 million

between 1939 and 1945

Korherr talks about Jewish emigration in this report

before 1941 when it was forbidden

well he talks about it until 1943 but says that it "ceased almost completely" in 1941 when it was prohibited

Those numbers are based off a Jew's estimates, not census reports.

and they're lower still than the German's own estimates

I'm trying to find the sources now

I showed other estimate reports. I don't see how you're refuting them kek.

that estimate is quite a bit lower than others

and also for an earlier year than others

So you're telling me a historically low birthrate group magically shat out millions of babies in the 4 year difference? @agag

Linfield's estimate of 15.0 million Jews worldwide is much lower than other estimates because of how much earlier it is

1939 estimate from the American Jewish Yearbook is 16.1 million

jewish virtual library gives 16.7 million

http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/1939_1940_8_Statistics.pdf

"On the basis of the latest available authoritative sources, the total number of Jews in the world is here estimated at 16,180,000"

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-population-of-the-world

this is another one that's even higher

@agag You see how only the Jewish sources are the one putting those figures that high?

Can you not connect the two dots?

the document you link is from the same publication

it is as Jewish a source

look at the urls

harry s linfield was a rabbi

http://digifindingaids.cjh.org/?pID=364816

in fact the least kosher source sofar has been the one from the Nazis

which is even higher

Let's make the assumption then of the higher number. You're telling me that a reduction of 16 something million to 11 something million between an extended period of war lasting 7 years and persecution of 13 years resulted in less than the total loss of the supposed 6 million? Let's take the low ball number then. Say 5 million were explicitly killed by the Germans. This leaves no room for 1. suicides 2. sickness 3. war fatalities 5. natural causes 6. crime or any other factors in any other nations of a historically low birthrate group to have net lose. @agag

Tens of millions of people died, and you're telling me that these deaths have no bearing on the pre and post war estimates of the Jewish population worldwide, let alone Europe?

@Kierketard It's not persecution of 13 years since these are numbers from 1939

it's only 6 years

and most of that began in 1942 with Wannsee

it includes deaths from sicknesses too
