Even if they died in crowded suffocation, they died one by one, as individuals, alone. But the figures of the protracted massacre?six of every nine Jews in Europe?were ungraspable. One grisly comparison: allowing 120 pounds to the Jew, the Nazis butchered 720,000,000 pounds of meat and bone, 13 times the daily slaughter of the Chicago stockyards...
