The six million number is arrived at by basically assigning every Jew that disappeared during World War II as a victim of the Holocaust.
This is simply not true since a large number fled to Russia or other countries where they died, changed their names, or in some other way came out of World War II as essentially not being able to be accounted for. So no, the Germans did not really kill 6 million Jews.
Now I'd say that in all likelihood that 6 million Jews died during WWII, but 6 millions Jews were not exterminated by Nazi Death Squads and in German Concentration Camps. There's a huge difference between someone who died of starvation in the Soviet Union and someone who died in a German Concentration Camp, though I'm sure most of the Israeli government would consider both victims on the Holocaust, while I would only consider the latter a victim of the Holocaust.
