I can put a small spin on it if you'd like, for added perspective.
Can you guess how many jews were saved during world war 2?

thats called survivors, do you even know what was Europe's Jewish population before the war?
less then 9 million , meaning at least 2/3 were killed, dont tell me 3 million were saved, because thats lying.
most of them either managed to leave before the war (which wasnt all that much since countries placed pretty tough limits on Jewish immigration following the Evian conference in 1938 ) , or simply survived the war. its as simple as that.
the vast majority of people were either too scared/uncaring to do anything , or mildly agreed with the killing.
sure you have good people, but sadly they were a minority.
for starters, "the dissolution of the eastern european jewry" written by renowned expert demographer walter n. sanning disagrees wildly with your figures
secondly, calling them survivors instead of saved can easily be a question of petty semantics in many scenarios
thirdly, you just said good people were sadly a minority, yet the vast majority of the world fought the axis
not inside Europe they didn't , the British (and the Empire) , USSR and that was really about it, the French only rejoined the war after liberation .
and its not a question of semantics at all , if someone is saved, , it means someone from the public has risked his life to save a Jew (or any minority killed in the Holocaust), survivor means someone who was in a concentration camp , and was simply lucky enough not to be killed .
while i haven't read that book , it seems ludicrous to me , saying every or most Jews disperesed before the war is silly, because immigration wasnt huge, apart from a wave of immigration to the US following the pogroms in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
most of these "revisionist" books are basically holocaust denial with a different name.
I assume youre going to give me a book by some othe Holocaust denier? Maybe you can quote me one of the members of Hamas who said the Holocaust was not real? :P
