Did Six Million Really Die? is a Holocaust denial pamphlet by British National Front member Richard Verrall, written under the pseudonym Richard E. Harwood and published by Ernst Zündel in 1974. The NF denied that Varrall was the author in a 1978 edition of World in Action.
The pamphlet is significant because the Canadian government put Zündel on trial for publishing it. Zündel, in turn, hired Fred A. Leuchter to write the Holocaust denial Leuchter report as part of Zündel's legal defense. The Supreme Court of Canada found that Did Six Million Really Die? "misrepresented the work of historians, misquoted witnesses, fabricated evidence, and cited non-existent authorities."

Famous quotes containing the word million:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
