Hitler wanted the Jews expelled from the whole of Europe so he could build his "Thousand Year Reich", but no countries would take them, so he treated them (and millions of non Jews) like subhumans and lost no sleep over their suffering and deaths.
Where it gets murky (and highly suspect) is the issue of numbers of dead, methods of death, motivations, etc.
I watched another "holocaust" show on Netflix about an American soldiers who ended up POWs and put in a camp with European Jews and others. Some real tear-jerking stuff seeing these (still living) American Vets and their memories. I welled up more than once. But that's war. War is Hell. I saw nothing in that program any worse than what was done by Russians or Japanese in WW2. Savagery is a tool of war, it's not unique to "the holocaust".
No, you are completely wrong. There is no controversy about the numbers of Jews killed in the Holocaust. The only question about numbers is the estimates of the total number of people killed in situ by Einsatzgruppen and other SS units; if anything those numbers are too low, extremely conservative estimates.
Then why are the numbers being reduced as to the claims?
Israeli Historians Welcome Revision Of Auschwitz Death Toll
That is from the 90's , probably more since then. Still 4 mil gassed, can you just imagine the time spent and man power spent in that. Unreal.
Krakowski said the revised figures were in line with Yad Vashem estimates that fewer than 2 million people were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau, among them up to 90 percent Jews.
This is what they do all the time, fewer than 2 mil were KILLED, that is the wrong word, the word to use is died.
