Wrong as usual, Ben.

44) How do you explain the fact that the World Almanac showed 15,319,359
Jews in the world in 1940 and 15,713,638 in 1949 (based on 1948
figures), if 6 million Jews are supposed to have perished in the Holocaust? This typical piece of denier chicanery is explained fairly easily.
Deniers like to make us think that the 1948 figure is the number of Jews
in 1948, but it is not. The 1948 figures (quoted in the 1949 edition)
are based on the 1938 - that is pre-war - census. The figures for 1949
are post-war and show a catastrophic drop in the Jewish population, down
to 11,266,600. When you factor in the fact that the 1949 edition
assessed the 1939 population at 16,643,120, you arrive at a difference
of 5,376,520.

Where can I find a copy of they World Almanac today? I've been searching everywhere. Looking for years 1945 - 1950.
