What figure would be considered "massive" in the grander scheme of things then?

Could it be that there is some confusion that massive means "largest" and so if there have been larger deaths then the numbers involved before cannot be considered massive?

I have to say I find it difficult to picture 6million people, it's just too big a number (and I find it difficult to picture 6 million being killed in concentration camps because it was just so wrong and immoral, let alone the 10 million chinese, or 25 million Russians, I can't help but try to imagine the pain and suffering each one went through. I'd love to go to the holocaust memorial museum in Israel, but I know if I do I would probably spend my time there with tears streaming down my face at the inhumanity of what happened, especially with the pile of shoes, or room of candles).
