To take even one life unjustly, in Jewish thought, is  equivalent to 
murdering the entire population of the  world, so in a sense you are 
right...but I am curious as to where you found your numbers. The 
Enclycopedia Brittanica estimates 5 to 6 million Jews and around 
400,000 Gypsies died in the Holocaust.
