A common excuse you often see deniers make is that the 6 million figure of the Holocaust is impossible since there were not that many Jews in Europe at the time.
But the Wannsee Conference included a census of all the Jews in Europe, which was broken down by country. According to official Reich documents, they estimated that there were 11 million Jews in Europe as of 1942. Also, they note that the total number is probably higher since in foreign countries, Jews are only calculated by those who practice the religion. Since they do not specifically categorize them by race, as the Reich does, they lay out procedure on how to do this in other countries to get a more accurate number.
It also clearly states what is to be done with the Jews of Europe under Germany authority
>Under proper guidance, in the course of the final solution the Jews are to be allocated for appropriate labor in the East. Able-bodied Jews, separated according to sex, will be taken in large work columns to these areas for work on roads, in the course of which action doubtless a large portion will be eliminated by natural causes.
>The possible final remnant will, since it will undoubtedly consist of the most resistant portion, have to be treated accordingly, because it is the product of natural selection and would, if released, act as a the seed of a new Jewish revival (see the experience of history.)
>In the course of the practical execution of the final solution, Europe will be combed through from west to east. Germany proper, including the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, will have to be handled first due to the housing problem and additional social and political necessities.
>The evacuated Jews will first be sent, group by group, to so-called transit ghettos, from which they will be transported to the East.
