They spent money on camps rather than just shooting or starving the people they wanted to kill. And we know they could shoot or starve them outside the camps because they did - tens of millions of civilians.
There is no way it's a mass surgical sterilization, it's going to be irradiating or chemically sterilizing people. And it won't make any difference to the number of people killed outside the camp system, or those who died in camps without being gassed.
The main difference here is that anyone who died in a gas chamber will instead be irradiated in a sterilization chamber. They'll go on to starve in the camps in similar numbers, or if they survive, to die young of cancer or other radiation or sterilization related problems. It's possible that there are more survivors in 1945 - but far fewer survivors in this world by 1965, and far fewer descendants of survivors by today.
We'll see sterilization as one of the indisputable signs of a genocide, and talk of sterilization as one of the key warning signs, it won't just be part of the technical definition.
How did food get into the ghettos?

Six million people eat at the same time and none prepare their own meal?
