Many Jewish communities in Europe have "Yizkor" (memorial) books listing
the names of those Jews in the town who were murdered in the Holocaust.
These names are not fabricated; they are accompanied by prewar photographs
and articles about the people -- what they did and how they died.  Not
all of them died in the extermination camps; many were murdered in their
home towns.  

If you want facts and figures, two sources are the YIVO Institute in
New York City and the Yad Vashem archives in Jerusalem.

If you still doubt, ask your Jewish acquaintances, many of whom lost
relatives in the Holocaust.  Any Jew who has done genealogical research,
as I have, can show the branches of the family that were wiped out.
