In his signature personal style, David Fisher asks deeply unsettling questions about six million – the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust – which became an iconic numerical figure. As a second-generation Holocaust survivor, Fisher’s first-person historical investigation takes him on a 12-year journey, far beyond statistics, to explore why and how this number was written into the canon, and what its meaning can teach us about the Holocaust.
