Approximately six million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. This figure is based on extensive research using Nazi documents, demographic data, and survivor testimonies, and it represents the most widely accepted estimate of Jewish victims of the Holocaust

. In addition to Jewish victims, millions of non-Jewish civilians and prisoners of war were also killed by the Nazis, with estimates ranging from 5 to over 11 million non-Jewish victims, including Romani people, disabled individuals, political opponents, and others

. Thus, the total number of people who died as a result of Nazi genocide and persecution during the Holocaust is generally recognized as at least six million Jews plus millions of other victims.
