90% of Romanian Jews killed during WW2?, according to some sources

I think there is a big disconnect in our dialogue. I said:

Another person reading Johnson and coming up with 750k in Romania. Coincidence?

To which you said:

No! they probably made the same mistake as you

Now I'm asking you what mistake did they and I do. You, not Sid. Or if you so will, link to what Sid said. You're avoiding a straight answer.

Hallo Imperial,

feel free to correct me but did you not post this figure: 750k (as quoted by Johnson) originaly.

Which Sid contested.

Then you posted somebody else had read the same source (Johnson) and come up with the same figure 750k.

To me, that seems like you were trying to justify your original post and figure.

I was saying fairly simply, to my mind that was it not possible for two people to read the same source, same (mis) information, and come up with the same conclusion.

Hopefully you understand where I am coming from, it is not my intention to start or contribute to an argument,

Only searching for clarity.

Hi. OK, I understand you. And I have nothing against your opinion about the possibility for 2 people to come up with the same figure/data after reading the same source.

My reaction was towards your conviction that the figure/data is mistaken. 2 people coming with the same figure/data may not be proof of being right, neither is of being wrong. But it does draw attention to have a more careful look at what the source claims. For example, did you read Johnson's book?

take care

Hallo Imp,

sorry for the delay in getting back to you, with regards Johnsons book no, I havent got access to it here in Transylvania where I live, the local library is very short on anything in English.

OFF Topic

I am not using this as an excuse, I try to find out as much as I can online but its getting to be frustrating when the information you search for keeps on reffering you to Wikepedia not the most accurate of things.

I would appreciate any links you can give, also I have to say I never got as far in schooling as many of the young people do today, before I was 17, (hence the bad spelling ) due to family circumstances, I joined the Irish army and I am self-educated mainly by reading as many books as I can get my hands on.

I have spent the last 5 years writing up the history of the many British Regiments that passed through the town of Castlebar, Co. Mayo, (now the Republic of Ireland) from 1730 to 1922, which envolved reading hundreds of copies of local and national newspapers on microfise, information that has never been before researched.

I am now in the process of trying to find a Publisher willing to print it all,

Well Lucky for you I didnt use the Irish term: Micro FISH
