The idea is that the six million were killed due to religious beliefs, and were civilians, whereas the 26 million killed otherwise were soldiers or killed in a slightly more humane way. The Holocaust idea is dystopian in its entirity, and horrific. It isn't about the amount, but the way it was done and government sanctioned.    I have first hand accounts too. They tend to be bias. My grandmother thinks all Germans are innately evil for example.
