As the machinery Hitler so expertly constructed grew too successful for its own good, that is to say the bodies kept multiplying, each new corpse was destroyed soon after the person had left for good. There can be no exact death toll allotted to this question but the general number is just under six million, 5,933,900 to be exact.

The simple answer is :Nobody knows. That being said, most people seem to adhere to six million. which; according to a late friend of mine who was a professor of history, specialising in the Holocaust era, was about right

However, according to her, the victims of the holocaust were by no means all Jewish.

They incuded: Gypsies, Eastern Europeans (who were considered sub-human by the National Socialist party) The Mentally ill (Who were mostly German citizens that embarrassed the Nazi idea of a Master Race), Political prisoners (ie. anyone who disagreed with Nazi policy) and the Jews (Who unfortunately for them were smart enough to have most of the German economy in their hands!).

The Nazis kept the concentration camps (actually a British invention from the Boer war) pretty much a secret from the German publc, even so, there were Germans that disagreed with the Nazi party, and put their life on the line to bring some sanity back to their country.

Everybody has heard of Schildler, but for a more unlikely hero, look up Herman Goering's brother Theo!

You mean as a result of the holocaust? The world may never know. Thousands of people died and were never identified or recorded. Once in a camp, records are pretty good, but the death toll in transit is pretty sketchy.

No one has ever been able to make an accurate count due to the efficiency of Hitler's death camps and also because there's no real way to count non-Jewish people who were also killed by the Aryan persecution. Estimates range between 1.5 and 4 million people.

by January 1942 25% of those who would die in the Holocaust would be dead (i.e. 1.5m). By January 1943 25% of those who would die in the Holocaust were still alive.

Why did the holocaust continue until the end of war?

The Holocaust lasted as long as the Nazis were able to pursue that policy. That is, until they were defeated by force of arms in May 1945.It is debatable how much influence the Allies had on the Holocaust.By 1944 the Nazis had demanded and received Jews from almost all of the territories over whom they had influence. Most of the death camps had been dismantled and the evidence of their existence hidden. Auschwitz, the largest and last deaht camp had all but stopped gassings in the autumn of 1944, with the last session taking place at the begining of December. The gas chambers were dismantled and sent back to Germany.The bulk of the murders took place in 1942, when both the gas chambers and the Einsatzgruppen were active, by 1945 when the Allies were advancing on Germany, the Death Marches were the largest cause of death (ironically caused by the allies).The Holocaust lasted so long because the aims of the Holocaust were not completed, however, the last two and a half years of the Holocaust produced only a third of the number of victims as the previous year.

How many people get killed by a tornado in America per year?

It varies from year to year. Looking at data for the past 30 years the average annual death toll for tornadoes in the U.S. is 74. The highest death toll in this period was 553 set in 2011, the second deadliest tornado year in U.S. history, while the lowest was 15, set in 1987. Note that the 2011 season was highly unusual, as the next highest annual death toll was 132, set in 1998, and that if 2011 is excluded from calculations the average annual death toll is reduced to 57.

Although over years could be argued, I would say 1945 as it had one of the largest global and lasting impacts and events. 1942 was the turrning point of WW2 which finally ends at the end of the year (death toll of which is millions), Allied discovery of the holocaust death camps, dropping of nuclear bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima (which also led to the start of the cold war between America and Russia) and the United Nations is formed.
