6 million??? If you really really want to do something about tragedy, then why not step forward, blow your bloody whistle about the 50 million abortions conducted annually in America! These are not simply permitted, they are advocated, by Hollywood, Planned Parenthood, and the entire Democrat Party. Get off your ass and join the REAL fighter against this hell. And while you're showing photos/videos of racist programs, consider this...the number of abortions perpetrated in the Black community of America is exceptionally higher than the White community. Doesn't that sound racists and genocidal? But...you are, no doubt, a liberal and pick your flower-power, peacenik "fights", and a just a pawn for the whacko leftists.
