Holocaust Numbers Eclipse Previous Estimates

A few years back, I introduced a friend of mine who works at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to another friend who works in social memory and modern history.  The first guy asked the second, "Have you ever considered working on the Holocaust?" The second guy replied, "No, there really isn't anything more to say." The conversation that followed illustrated that there is very much more to say indeed.  Perhaps I'll detail it later this week.  Today, I'll just point you to this:

Still unbelievable after all these years.
