In a recent article in CMU's student newspaper, the head of CMU's History Department, Peter Stearns, is quoted as saying that newly discovered documents - especially in the former USSR - indicate that the number of victims is higher than 6 million. About 6 million non-Jewish civilians were killed by the Nazis - mostly in Poland and Yugoslavia. Many of them died in labor camps inside Germany. -Danny Keren.
