This is a highly contentious statement! Hasn't a figure of 6 million been quoted
for another ethnic group just a few years before? I think the Germans were
treated very decently after WW2, considering the way they had behaved during it.

I've gone off the whole question since I saw that Wikipaedia page - they
can't have been all that great if there were so many of them! And
obviously some people have been adding their own favourites, especially
from recent history :)
