Most people believe that roughly six million Jews were killed in World War II in an event generally referred to as the Holocaust or Shoah.

In this book, Don Heddesheimer exposes the fact that the six-million figure dates back to a Jewish fundraising campaign that started during the First World War and reached its peak in the mid 1920's. During those years, Jewish groups in the US spread the rumor that millions of Jews had died already and many more would face a lingering death. The New York Times was the main vehicle for such propaganda, which even included well-known buzzwords like "extermination", "holocaust", and the now famous, "six-million" figure.

The First Holocaust shows that the "six-million" figure, together with the "extermination" and "holocaust" claims are Jewish-Zionist in nature and part of a propaganda pattern that started early in the 20th Century in order to promote Jewish political and financial goals, be it in Soviet Russia then or in Israel today.
