A controversial ultra-Orthodox rabbi based in New York has said that
fewer that one million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, claiming
most of those counted among the usually cited figure of six million
were not Jewish according to rabbinical law.
In a video posted online, Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi can be seen saying that
high assimilation rates in pre-war Europe and broad Nazi definitions
have exaggerated the numbers of Jews recorded as killed by the Nazis
during the Holocaust. At least five million of the six million were
“total goyim,” Mizrachi told the crowd, adopting a Hebrew word for
non-Jews that many consider pejorative.
“The truth, I am telling you, is that not even one million Jews were
murdered,” Mizrachi said, trashing accepted historical accounts. “A
lot of non-Jews were meshed into the count, but in truth, how many
Jews really were killed?”
Originally from Israel, Mizrachi moved to the United States in his
twenties and received rabbinic ordination there. In the past decade he
has been teaching at the Ohr Yeshiva in Monsey, New York, and
producing kiruv or Jewish outreach, videos.
According to his website, DivineInformation.com, Mizrachi “has spoken
in over 5,000 lectures worldwide as well participated in many weekend
seminars, radio shows and other Hebrew and English events in which he
enriched the knowledge and awareness of Judaism among thousands of
Jews who once were lacking Jewish awareness whatsoever.”
In the video, one of thousands on his YouTube page — which has amassed
over a million views — Mizrachi says it is “very simple” to explain
his estimates for the actual number of Jewish victims in the
Holocaust.
“If you look at the percent of assimilation that there was in Europe,
which already reached 80 percent, it’s reasonable to assume that 80
percent of the 6 million were not-Jews,” Mizrachi said.

It turns out that the Holocaust was a Christian tragedy, not a Jewish
one. Its little wonder the jews don't want give revisionists a
platform.
