Researchers at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum are documenting for the first time the scale of the horror that radiated from Germany in the 1940s, and have uncovered that there were far more slave labor camps and other detention centers than previously known.
Researches have identified 42,500 camps, reaching from France to Russia, where Jews and other persecuted groups were held for slave labor to fuel the Nazi army and where women were abused by German military personnel.
But the sheer number of sites shocked Holocaust researchers, who at first didn’t believe their ears. “The numbers are just so much higher than we originally thought,” the institute’s director said. Read more at The New York Times.

we know also now the number of murdered was 7 million; some scholars give considerably higher figures

Between 15 and 20 million people are estimated to be inslaved or died in those Nazi camps.

To Comment #2. from cohen
and Comment #4. from Yoeli:
Many years ago, I heard that new documents were discovered that showed the existence of more concentration/death camps and an additional two million deaths. So the number of Am Yisroel that was massacred in the Churban Europa, Hashem Yinakem Damam, IS CLOSE TO EIGHT MILLION!!
It is also crucial to point out that, of course, the focus of Hitler and the Nazis, Yimach Shemam V’Zichram, was the Am Yisroel. At the same time though, these severely hyper-wicked slime bags had no qualms at all in torturing and killing many, many more — WELL OVER TWICE AS MANY — millions of non-Jewish peoples, Hashem Yinakem Damam, in the lands that they controlled and invaded.
