If I recall 271,000 was while it was still happening. The Germans had assumed responsibility for the jews' safety, even though many more would have died in war like it they were present in Dresden.
The number is higher, but far lower than would have died if not for the safety camps.
Some say 6 million
Some say it never happened
And some say it wasn't enough
The number is higher, but far lower than would have died if not for the safety camps.
