Yes.

But it’s also possible to just quietly omit information.

The holocaust resulted in millions of deaths

Sounds bad

the holocaust resulted in the death of approximately six million Jews and a further eight to ten million people from other groups such as Russian POW, Slav, Roma, Sinti, and homosexuals.

Puts figures to how bad it was.

…and homosexuals

Imagine if western powers had carved off a chunk of the middle east and then said “and this spot is just for the gays”.

  To give some credit, I don’t think that 30% of the global population of the gays or Roma or Slavs was killed by the Nazis. But, still, wow.
