As for the numbers, the criticisms I have heard are that there are no ways to validate them.

There are demographic statistics on the number of Jews in Europe before and after World War II. These numbers have a margin of error, but if three million Jews had escaped from Eastern Europe to the USSR instead of being killed, it's hard to imagine how this fact could be covered up.

I don't know enough about it to comment. It's just the kind of criticism I have heard in discussions. Sorry for bringing the subject up at all.
