This is extreme survivorship bias.

The way you say 'look at all the people' implies that a lot of people survived and had good lives, but this needs to be weighed against the number of people total that entered concentration camps to know if this is actually a meaningful number of people to validate your assertion or not.

My guess is that someone who went into a concentration camp were much less likely to live a life worth living than people who did not simply because a large number of them lived a life of torture and then death.




Is it survivorship bias or plain old evolution?
