The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945.

The figure is so staggering that even fellow Holocaust scholars had to make sure they had heard it correctly when the lead researchers previewed their findings at an academic forum in late January at the German Historical Institute in Washington.

“The numbers are so much higher than what we originally thought,” Hartmut Berghoff, director of the institute, said in an interview after learning of the new data.

The most shocking thing that I learned about the Holocaust would be that the twin children within the camps would be tortured. They would be taken from their parents and basically be rats so the Nazis could experiment on them. They tried to change the color of the children’s eyes, they dissected children, took their organs out, took their eyeballs out and displayed them. They cherish twins so much just because they could do medical experiments on them.
