The "11 million" number is actually totally fake and was made up by "nazi hunter" Simon Weisenthal. He basically pulled the 5 million non-jew number out of his ass. The idea was to inflate the death toll and attempt to give gentiles some "stake" in the Holocaust, but not so much that they died "more" than jews. So he picked 5 million. This isn't even controversial and you can find many normie and jewish articles about it.
