No one (to my knowledge) claims that the 12 million ( a rough estimate)
killed in the concentration camps were all jews.  The best estimate is
that half of them were.  The others included gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses
 homosexuals, political dissidents, and random victims of naziism.
I stopped reading Mr. Black's articles a while ago, but I'm fairly sure
that he has claimed that the number of people killed in the concentration
camps has been grossly exagerated (i.e. by a couple orders of magnitude).
His basis for believing this appear to be his psychotic hatred for Jews
and (to a lesser extent) the other groups listed above.
