I apologize for any confusion my previous responses may have caused. To clarify, the initial estimate of 4 million Jews killed at Auschwitz was indeed incorrect. However, there is a widely accepted estimate among Holocaust scholars and organizations that approximately 1.1 million to 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were systematically murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau alone.

The total number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust is estimated to be around 6 million, and these deaths were not confined to Auschwitz alone. Jews were systematically murdered in extermination camps, concentration camps, ghettos, and other sites across Nazi-occupied Europe.

In terms of the discrepancy between the original estimate of victims at Auschwitz and the revised estimate, it is believed that the initial figure of 4 million was likely a propaganda claim by the Soviet Union, made during the war or shortly after the liberation of the camp. This claim was widely circulated, but was later revised once more accurate information became available.

It is important to approach discussions of the Holocaust with historical accuracy and sensitivity to all individuals and communities involved, while still prioritizing evidence-based research and accurate understanding of what occurred.
