Stone said that, “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed].”


I don’t dispute that, but those deaths were collateral damage from invading Russia. In contrast, Hitler was specifically trying to systematically exterminate the Jews as a people. Perhaps (had he won) he would have gotten around to the Slavs and other peoples. But he went for the Jews first.

Actually as a percentage of peoples, Hitler decimated the Jewish population.

The Russians started wit 165 million and lost 26 million or 15%.

The Jews, of all conflict nations totaled 8,861,800 with some 5,933,900 murdered for a total devastation to their people of 67%!

So a much smaller population pool of humans who did nothing more than get up each day, worship God, go to work and care for their families.
