"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
What did he mean by this?
>>
>>1675651
people like martyrs, identifiable

>>1675651

No proof he actually said it. Quote is falsely attributed to him.

If one man dies, you know his name, his life story and so on. If a million die, you don't care about a million names and their stories, hence, it becomes a statistic.
>>
>>1675651
If one person close to you dies you would obviously care about it

The holocaust is not something which emotionally affects you because you weren't there
>>
He never said that, and it means: you can really imagine or understand the death of one person, death of millions is hard to understand or ''feel'' so it just becomes a statistic.

To add context, let's examine how big the number one million is:

If you were to count to 100 every minute and continue counting at that pace every hour of every day, week, month, it would take you roughly one and a half YEARS to count to one million. (1500 years for one billion)

Let that sink in for a moment. It's just too large a number to wrap your head around.
