They were throwing that number as early as the 1900's I think. I'll have to make sure on the year. But they were definitely throwing it around long before 1940.
The reason jews are obsessed with 6 million is because it's a prophecy. 6 million jews die before their messiah shows up - hence why they have consistently proclaimed 6 million.
Apparently the 6 million isn't directly addressed within their religious texts, but it's interpretation based off the text is the passage.
