holocaust victims. (At least have the respect to capitolize Holocaust.)

You then wrote:

You need to be more clear in your writing if in fact you did not intend to mean that more people died from the atomic bombs in Japan than the number of people who were victims of the German Holocaust. The word 'more' has a meaning and in the manner you used the word 'more' it is referencing your last sentence which referred to the Holocaust.
