Before Adolf Hitler, before the Nazi Party, before WW2, starting as early as the 1800s, western newspapers began to use the terms "Holocaust" and claim the "extermination" of "6 million jews" whilst blaming it on Imperial Russia. There are over 256 references to the idea of 6,000,000 Jews being exterminated before this number was officially announced at the Nuremberg trials, starting already in 1869, in the MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL, (Tennessee). Almost all of them allege that Imperial Russia had exterminated or was planning to exterminate "6 million Jews," some of these "news" articles actually used the term "holocaust."

"I've checked out Churchill's Second World War and the statement is quite correct” not a single mention of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war. This is astonishing. How can it be explained? Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; the six volumes of Churchill's Second World War total 4,448 pages; and de Gaulle's three-volume Mémoires de guerre is 2,054 pages. In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi 'gas chambers,' a 'genocide' of the Jews, or of 'six million' Jewish victims of the war." -Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus, University of Ulster, December 5, 2005
