Probably because the number is closer 10 million. Not that it makes it any better.
On a side note to my side note, why is it that certain people increase or decrease the number of people killed in an atrocity to make a certain group look better or worse? Like people are going to think the Nazis were saints if they exterminated "only" two million Jews, or honestly believe that communism has killed more people than old age.  |
I had never heard of either number until I moved to San Francisco and saw the protests around the Japanese Consulate on Geary Street.
There was famous Holocaust scholar, Raul Hilberg, who calculated that 5 million Jews were killed and he was pilloried for it.
Stalin did brag to Winston Churchill that he starved 10 Million Ukranian Peasants to death.
