Golda Meir on the gas chambers


Golda Meir, Israel's only ever female primeminister. Stated in a 1969 interview with LIFE Magazine - 6,000,000 Jews went to the gas chambers

"Look, we're Jews. The six million who went to the gas chambers didn't scare anybody apparently. It is a horrid thing to say, but I speak frankly." source

Extract from the judgement at the Nuremberg Trial:

"Adolf Eichmann, who had been put in charge of this programme by Hitler, has estimated that the policy pursued resulted in the killing of 6,000,000 Jews, of which 4.000.000 were killed in the extermination institutions."
