It's funny that reddit got me on the holohoax train.
Back in 2015, Google wasn't censoring holocaust results yet. I saw something about the plaque at Auschwitz changing to reflect the updated numbers. While I was in school, 3 million jews were killed there. They changed the plaque to say 1.5 million jews died there, but now it's less than a million died there, and they haven't updated the plaque.
I google searched "how many jews actually died in the holocaust" and the top result was something around 150,000. I laughed because that can't be right.
I went to the bastion of knowledge of history online, r/askhistorians
Title: How many jews actually died during the holocaust?
Body: I just recently found out that the number of jews that were killed at Auschwitz was reduced from 3 million to "less than a million"(source: Auschwitz museum website). That's 2 million less jews, but when I Google search I'm getting answers as low as 150,000 to 6 million. If 2 million less died, wouldn't that be 4 million?

Immediately banned for holocaust denial. I messaged the mods and said I wasn't denying anything, just asking questions.
"Just asking questions is a time honored tradition of neo-nazis"
So I asked where the missing 2 million were, and they told me that they were killed by the Nazis as the pushed through territory using gas vans. I looked up gas vans, and responded with how ridiculous and implausible that was, but they just continued to call me a nazi.

So I dug and dug and dug. Using only "official" numbers from the death camp museums, less than 2 million jews would have died in the death camps. That's 4 million missing bodies.
