I know they have accounted for the deaths of around 1.5 million Jewish children and roughly 3 million Jewish adults. The Germans did a very good job with the passports, identity cards and record keeping, and they are all documented in Yad Vashem. I was there during my visit to Israel. It is a very moving place, full of facts, figures, communications between government and political figures. Archived documents. Full of personal testimonies by survivors.

I would recommend anyone who wants to properly discuss the holocaust to pay a visit there. It helps illustrate the whole thing in real-time, not a simple 'statistic' in a text-book.
