It's striking how nearly every bad comment in this thread—in fact nearly every comment—traces back to the baitiness of the article's title. "The Holocaust: Who are the missing million?" shamelessly invokes hell with a prim veneer of plausible deniability.
I wish we had noticed this sooner. The discussion is not entirely horrible, only mostly. It probably would have been a notch better without an initial sharp shove into hell.
We changed the title to representative language from the article. Let's not forget that authors of articles like this don't write the headlines.
It's a double shame, because the collation of most of the 6 millions Jewish victims names and details, is a data mining feat worthy of great technical discussion on HN.
