Exact statistics for the actual total number of human beings exterminated in various programs during the war are difficult to arrive at, as the Nazis destroyed many records, or in other cases kept none at all. The numbers of dead among European Jewry can be traced to census records and Nazi official tallies presented during the Nuremberg trials. In total 5,796,129 or 60% of the pre-war European Jewish population were killed during the Holocaust.

Over 5,000,000 other 'undesirables' were killed in the Holocaust. Of these, some numbers can be tabulated. Approximately 250,000 gypsies were killed. The T-4 Euthanasia Program, which was primarily directed at German 'degenerates', patients at mental hospitals, terminally ill, etc., was responsible for the death of at least another 100,000 adult mental patients and 5,000 children in mental hospitals. The tally can be easily doubled as an untold number ended up at the concentration camps and met their fate there, with no record whatsoever.
