I have to point out to you, yet again, that in 14-16 May, 1943,
SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Franke-Gricksch inspected Auschwitz, and 
wrote a report for SS-Col. von Herff and Reichsfuehrer-SS Himmler, 
in which he states that so far 500,000 Jews have been murdered
in Auschwitz-Birkenau. See, for instance, "Hitler and the Final 
Solution", Prof. Gerald Fleming, University of California Press, 
1984, p. 142-143.

You seem to claim that, by 1945, the total number of the victims 
decreased to 72,000?

By the way, the camp had five huge crematoriums. Look at the following
photographs of them and of a related document:

Letter from Jahrling to Kammler, stating that the combined
crematoriums in Auschwitz-Birkenau can cremate 4,756 corpses
in 24 working hours.

Can you possibly explain why such tremendous cremation capacity
was necessary, if 72,000 people died in the camp? It's a large number, 
indeed, but one small crematorium would certainly suffice to dispose 
of their corpses over 5 years. Why build all these huge crematorius
if they were not necessary?
