But what about the fact that Srila prabhupada didn't believe that the Nazis killed around 6 million Jews which is well recorded in history? Why Srila prabhupada showed skepticism about it

We should keep in mind that India was under occupation from the British, who committed many atrocities there. The official version of history we are taught in school is that the Nazis are bad and the Allies are saints. I see that Prabhupada has a critical view of this, making the point that the British and Americans were not saints, and the British were in certain aspects even worse than the Nazis. The British killed 20 million in Bengal to create an artificial famine there with the goal of driving people to the army, for example.
