I think it is time that Wikipedia began reporting the more factual and recent estimates for the Holocaust. The Holocaust memorial at Auschwitz removed the mention of "4 million killed" based on the new and robust Polish Figures that no more than 1 million died at Auschwitz. This means that the best current estimate of the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust can be no more than 3 million. This is still horrible, and reporting this fact makes no less of a case for the horror of the Holocaust. Simply repeating a near 70 year long mistake as a "fact" really discredits Wikipedia and suggests a strong bias.

I suggest a wording such as "estimates of at least 3 million killed" or something like that. Also, this estimate can be supported with references, while the "6 million killed" cannot be, so of course is currently not referenced at all.
