Because their is no way in hell exactly 6 million Jews were killed!! No more no less just 6 million on the dot.
It's obviously a rough estimate not an exact number.
Cynicism like yours is easy. "I don't believe it until you prove it to me", is the cynics way of doubting what others see as facts. You are intellectually lazy. The information is available and great care was taken to preserve facts. That you don't know anybody who can claim to be killed in the holocaust is a really poor way to begin your analysis.

The key claims which cause Holocaust denial to differ from established fact are:[3][4]
- The Nazis had no official policy or intention of exterminating Jews.
- Nazis did not use gas chambers to mass murder Jews.[182]
- The figure of 5 to 6 million Jewish deaths is a gross exaggeration, and the actual number is an order of magnitude lower.
Established facts and analyisis:
- Written documents—hundreds of thousands of letters, memos, blueprints, orders, bills, speeches, articles, memoirs, and confessions.
- Eyewitness testimony—accounts from survivors, Jewish Sonderkommandos (who helped load bodies from the gas chambers into the crematoria in exchange for a chance of survival), SS guards, commandants, local townspeople, and even high-ranking Nazis who spoke openly about the mass murder of the Jews.
- Photographs—including official military and press photographs, civilian photographs, secret photographs taken by survivors, aerial photographs, German and Allied film footage, and unofficial photographs taken by the German military.
- The camps themselves—concentration camps, work camps, and extermination camps that still exist in varying degrees of originality and reconstruction.
- Inferential evidence or argument from silence — population demographics, reconstructed from the pre–World War II era; if six million Jews were not killed, what happened to them?
I don't expect a cretin like you to change its baked in antisemetic views from this post. I'm just here for my own reasons.
Cynical denial and dismissal of careful documentation, gathering of evidence and documenting results is easy. Also allows you to lock up your brain just in case a real thought forms and tries to get out. What you say is based in an evil bigoted antisemitism. To acknowledge the holocaust would require rejecting antisemitism. That's hard for you. I don't think your lazy ass can do it. I'm just writing this to satisfy my desire to honor the dead and defy your denial of their existence.
