For most people, Adolf Hitler’s name pops up when thinking about the deadliest dictator in history, but he’s not even close to the worst of them. That’s not to say he wasn’t responsible for millions of deaths, but the numbers are often difficult to pin down. Just looking into the Holocaust of European Jews and other “undesirable” members of Hitler’s ideal society, some 20.9 million perished through systematic extermination.
