Table 1. The monthly kill rate K_r True for the Holocaust during the Operation Reinhard period (1942–1943) as compared to the Rwanda genocide of 1994.

The monthly kill rate K_r Perceived of the Holocaust is calculated from the erroneous claims that K_r(Rwanda) was three to five times larger than the Holocaust kill rate; i.e., K_r(Holocaust Perceived) lies between K_r(Rwanda)/5 and K_r(Rwanda)/3.

	Holocaust (1942)	Rwanda (1994)
K_r True (monthly kill rate)	K_r(Holocaust) = 445,700 murders per month	K_r(Rwanda) = 243,300 murders per month
K_r Perceived (monthly kill rate) reported in literature and by media	K_r(Holocaust reported in literature) = [K_r(Rwanda)/5 to K_r(Rwanda)/3] = [243,300/5 to 243,300/3] = [48,700 to 81,100] murders per month = [11 to 18%] K_r(Holocaust)	K_r(Rwanda) = 243,300 murders per month
