Last summer I was visiting Geneva and passed by the cemetery. There I saw a peculiar looking grave and I went to take a closer look.
It was that of a certain Gerhard Riegner, "Secretary of the World Jewish Congress". And there was a plaque there explaining that he was one of the first, during the war, to alert the Allies of an impending genocide, by way of this telegram, which was quoted on the plaque.

It mentioned that in german-controlled europe, there was only 3.5 to 4 millions jews.

And wikipedia tells me that of them,
>nearly six million people were annihilated, so that by the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, about 3.5 million of them had survived.[1][10]

I must admit, that got me thinking.
