How Six Million Jews Died, compiled by Toshiro

The erudite internet writer known as “Toshiro” has compiled a list of 236 references found in newspapers, magazines and books — spanning 45 years, from 1900 to 1945 — in which Jews have claimed that SIX MILLION Jews were (a) about to be killed, (b) were in the process of being killed, or (c) had been killed.

The words have been repeated like a mantra, a numerological litany from which there is no escape. As there is naturally much repitition, we select here only a handful of these references just to give the reader an idea of the intense process of mass hypnosis that started roughly in 1900 and has been continuing relentlessly for over a hundred years.

Reader, don’t skip.

Read every word — and prepare to be mesmerized:
