6 000 000 judar. Det är i historieböcker fastslaget att det nationalsocialistiska Tyskland mellan åren 1941 och 1944 mördade 6 000 000 judar, i huvudsak med homicidala gaskammare, i det som kallas Förintelsen (engelska: Holocaust, hebreiska: Shoa). Detta var ett led i en officiell kampanj att utrota alla Europas judar, på direkt order av den nationalsocialistiska ledningen i Tredje Riket. Siffran anses säkerställd genom noggranna undersökningar av de tyska koncentrationslägren, efterlämnade dokument, historisk forskning, arkeologiska utgrävningar, vittnesuppgifter, erkännanden från ledande företrädare för Tredje Riket samt demografiska kartläggningar. Alltsedan slutet av Andra världskriget har forskning pågått och bevisen har säkrats. 2020 meddelar historieprofessor Joel Rappel, ansvarig för Elie Wiesel arkivet att han "upptäckt" att 6 miljoner siffran bestämdes på ett sionistiskt möte 19e januari 1944.

Före Första världskriget

• Den 11 juni 1900 publicerade New York Times en artikel som bar namnet Rabbi Wise's Address. Där kunde man läsa: "there are 6,000,000 living, bleeding, suffering arguments in favor of Zionism". Rabbinen Stephen S. Wise var en ledande företrädare för American Jewish Congress, född i Ungern och son till rabbinen Joseph Hirsch Weisz. Familjen flyttade till USA där fadern Joseph blev rabbin i Brooklyn. Artikeln är den första kända där siffran 6 000 000 judar presenteras publikt.

• På sidan 482 i 1902 års upplaga av Encyclopedia Britannica står att läsa under rubriken ANTI-SEMITISM: "While there are in Russia and Romania six millions of jews who are being systematically degraded, and who periodically overflow the western frontier, there will continue to be a jewish question in Europe;"

• Den 27 november 1902 publicerar New York Times en artikel under rubriken PLEA FOR ZIONISM: "In answer I would say: Does Dr. Silverman represent the 6,000,000 jews in Russia, 300,000 in Roumania, and the 1,000,000 in Galicia?"

• New York Times den 29 januari 1905: "END OF ZIONISM, MAYBE. Jewish Preacher´s View of Uprising in Russia. [...] He declared that a free and a happy Russia, with its 6,000,000 jews, would possibly mean the end of Zionism, since the abolition of the autocracy would practically eliminate the causes that brought Zionism into existence".

• Dr. Paul Nathan´s View of Russian Massacre är rubriken på en artikel i New York Times den 25 mars 1906: "STARTLING reports of the condition and future of Russia´s 6,000,000 Jews were made on March 12 in Berlin to the annual meeting of the Central Jewish Relief League of Germany by Dr. Paul Nathan who has... [...] He left St. Petersburg with the firm conviction that the Russian Government´s studied policy for the "solution" of the jewish question is systematic and murderous extermination."

• New York Times den 31 oktober 1911: "The 6,000,000 Jews of Russia are singled out for systematic oppression and for persecution due to process of law."

• THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1911 The American Jewish Year Book 5672 September 23, 1911, to September 11, 1912 - sid 308: "Russia has since 1890 adopted a deliberate plan to expel or exterminate six millions of its people for no other reason than that they refuse to become members of the Greek Church, but prefer to remain Jews".

Under Första världskriget

• New York Times den 2 december 1914, text av Felix M. Warburg: "The American Jewish Releif Committee called into being at a conference of more then 100 national Jewish organizations which was held at Temple Emanu-El on Oct. 25 to consider the plight of more than 6,000,000 Jews who live within the war zone, ..." "The disaster, in which the whole world shares, falls with disproportionate weight upon the jewish people, more then nine millions of whom live in the countries at war and over six millions of these in the actual war zone in Poland, Galicia, and the whole Russian frontier."

• New York Times den 14 januari 1915: "In the world today there are about 13,000,000 Jews, of whom more than 6,000,000 are in the very heart of the war zone."

• New York Times den 28 februari 1916: "Nearly six million Jews are ruined." he said "in the greatest moral and material misery".

• 1916, American Jewish Committee - The Jews in the Eastern War Zone (sid 19): "Russia acquired the great bulk of her Jewish population through the partitions of Poland, from 1773 to 1795. Strongly medieval in outlook and organization as Russia was at that time, she treated the Jews with the exceptional harshness which [...] it into a penal settlement, where six million human beings guilty only of adherence to the Jewish faith are compelled to five out their lives in squalor and misery, in constant terror of massacre, subject to the caprice of police officials and a corrupt administration— in short, without legal right or social status."

• New York Times den 18 oktober 1918: "Six Million Souls Will Need Help to Resume Normal Life When War Is Ended. [...] Committee of American Jews Lays Plans for the Greatest Humanitarian Task in History. [...] 6,000,000 Jews Need Help."

Grunden till myten om de sex miljoner judarna

Rabbi Benjamin Blech, professor i Talmud vid Yeshiva University sedan 1966, menar att det i judendomen och det hebreiska språket vilar en mystik kring siffror, tolkningar, ord och begrepp. Blech är författare av boken The Secret of Hebrew Words (1993) där han förklarar den mystik som vilar i det skriva ordet i gamla judiska skrifter och innebörden av tolkningar. Precis som det i latin inte fanns några siffror så användes istället bokstäver som symboliserade antal och mängd. I latinet så skrevs exempelvis siffran tio med bokstaven X. Samma princip praktiseras i de gamla judiska skrifterna Torah och Talmud, där siffror skrivs med bokstäver. Den hebreiska bokstaven ו ("vav") symboliserar många saker, bland annat siffran 6 men även människa.

Rabbi Blech skriver på sidan 214: The Hebrew word for "ye shall return" (TaShuVu), seems to be spelled incorrectly. Grammatically it requires another ו (vav). It ought to read (TaShUVu). Why is it lacking the letter ו (vav), which stands for 6? ...(without the "vav") is a prediction to the jewish people of ultimate return to their national homeland. Bokstaven ו(vav) är den sjätte i det hebreiska alfabetet och symboliserar även människan. Den judiska skriften Torah motsvarar Bibelns Gamla Moseböcker och i Första Mosebok (Genesis 1) kan vi läsa:

Och Gud skapade människan till sin avbild, till Guds avbild skapade han henne, till man och kvinna skapade han dem. [...] Och Gud såg på allt som han hade gjort, och se, det var mycket gott. Och det vart afton, och det vart morgon, den sjätte dagen.

Den 20 juli 1839 publicerade den brittiska tidningen The London Saturday Journal en artikel som uppgav att Kung David regerade över sex miljoner judar: "The glorious period, then, of Jewish history commences with the reign of David. By the time, the Jewish population of Palestine is supposed to have nearly trebled in the six hundred years that had elapsed from the time of leaving Egypt ;-David ruled over six million Jews, and many tributary nations."

Siffran 6 och dess betydelse

Människan skapades på den sjätte dagen enligt den kristna Bibeln och den judiska Torah, och ו (vav) som är den sjätte bokstaven symboliserar även människan. Det vilar alltså en mystik och symbolism i siffror och bokstäver och dessa har en inneboende kraft i olika kombinationer. Exempel: "Because of this system of assigning numerical values to letters, every word has a numerical value. For example, the word Torah (Tav-Vav-Reish-Hei) has the numerical value 611 (400+6+200+5). There is an entire discipline of Jewish mysticism known as Gematria that is devoted to finding hidden meanings in the numerical values of words. For example, the number 18 is very significant, because it is the numerical value of the word Chai, meaning life. Donations to Jewish charities are routinely made in denominations of 18 for that reason."

När det judiska folket lämnade fångenskapen i Egypten var dom enligt skrifterna 600 000 och Torah består av 600 000 bokstäver. Rabbi Blech förklarar vidare: " TaShuVU in numbers adds up to 708: tav=400, shin=300, vei=2, vey=6. When we write the year, we ignore the millennia. In 1948 on the secular calendar, we witnessed the miracle of Jewish return to Israel. On the Hebrew calendar it was the year 3708. That was the year predicted by the incomplete word (TaShuVu), you shall return. We did return, lacking 6 – an all important 6 million of our people who perished in the holocaust. Yet the fulfillment of the prediction of return in precisely that year implied by the gematria of TaShuVU gives us firm hope that the words of the prophets for Final Redemption will come true as well."

Davidstjärnan har sex uddar som när dom viks in bildar en hexagon. De sex vingarna symboliserar även Mishnah, grunden för det som idag kallas Talmud. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum i Washington har en permanent utställningshall med fotografier från Förintelsen. Ytan är på 36 000 fot - 6 x 6 = 36. När det judiska folket tågade ut ur Egypten lät Gud omge dem med sex moln. Det hebreiska ordet Israel kan läsas som en akronym för Yesh Shishim Ribo Otiot LaTorah - "Torah består av 600 000 bokstäver". De koncentrationsläger där judar ska ha blivit utrotade är numera sex till antalet: Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor och Chelmno.

Enligt Kabbala, som är en form av judisk mystik som försöker uttolka naturens och gudomens ordning enligt ett religiöst-filosofiskt system, har livets träd tio stycken Sephiroth. En Sepiroth är en emanation eller en utströmning på vilket Gud uppenbarar och visar sig. Alla tio Sepiroth förklarar den fysiska och den metafysiska världen. Kabbala har en central roll hos ortodoxa judar där de tio Sepiroth anses vara det perfekta ordningtalet för Gud själv. Tio gånger (Gud) sex (människa) för de 600 000 som tågade ut ur Egypten blir 6 000 000.
