I wasn't there, and I've only met one or two people who survived the Holocaust, but a lot of people they knew got killed. I'm gonna say somewhere between a million and six billion is "a lot."
Also, the trains didn't really run on time in Germany either, but they did in all the official papers, which is all that matters anyway. And not everyone had a job, but those that didn't mostly were in the Party so it didn't matter, since they were writers or editors for the official papers.
Ol' Joe Stalin totally had it right: he who controls the past controls the future. Which is Russian for "I print the papers, so nobody will know whether it was six million or a hundred gazillion jillion."
