Many deniers question the death toll of the Holocaust, claiming that the numbers are "highly inflated". Many contemporary Holocaust deniers put the Jewish death toll between 300,000 and 1.1 million,<ref>http://www.ihr.org/leaflets/denial.shtml</ref> which is at odds with most widely accepted statistics, which put the Jewish death toll at approximately six million.<ref>http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005143</ref> The World Almanac that they use is not even on their side. <ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/techniques-of-denial/worldalmanac.html</ref>

As the Nazis kept records of the 3 million Jews that they took out in eight different extermination camps,<ref>http://motlc.wiesenthal.com/site/pp.asp?c=gvKVLcMVIuG&b=394667</ref><ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/qar/qar01.html</ref> even Rudolf Hess wrote volumes about it. Simple demographic evidence effectively rebuts this argument. Deniers claim that many Jews simply emigrated elsewhere, but there are no corresponding population increases in other countries that would support this argument. While it is possible that hundreds, or even thousands of people could "fall through the cracks," that still leaves several million Jews unaccounted for.<ref>http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/denial.html</ref> Deniers will go on to say that Red Cross puts it at 300,000, but they responded that they never published their claims nor complied. <ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0031322X.1978.9969431</ref><ref>http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/orgs/international/red-cross/ftp.py?orgs/international/red-cross//300000-victims.response</ref> The World Almanac that they use is not even on their side. <ref>http://www.nizkor.org/features/techniques-of-denial/worldalmanac.html</ref>
