Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Only about 50,000–120,000 Polish Jews survived the war on native soil, a fraction of their prewar population of 3,500,000. You are litigating the wrong issue in the wrong venue The issue is who would write the bizarre article you quoted; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Matalea A...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

It’s not “obviously a false claim.” There were many work camps in Poland, 30,000 seems way too low. The Lublin Reservation is where the Nazis planned to expel Jews. There were a lot of population transfers between Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union. The Poles wanted a homogeneous society, that’s ...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

How many Jews survived in Poland? Grabowski says 30,000 out of more than 3,000,000: To cite just one thing, the Wikipedia article “Polish Righteous Among the Nations” claims that non-Jewish Poles hid “hundreds of thousands of their Jewish neighbors” during the German occupation. An obvious false cla...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Grabowski et.al. realize this gas chamber in the Warsaw Concentration camp was phony*, now it’s time for others to point out the absurdity of the other gas chambers. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_concentration_camp#Discredited_extermination_camp_story 61EDBC81-A8FF-4477-BAC3-BEECF44FDF30.pn...

Re: Should Humanity go extinct?

Overpopulation is a MYTH. We were supposed to peak at 14 billion (or higher!) people, then they revised down to 12 billion, then 11, now 10.4. They may soon revise it down even lower. Atmospheric pollution is currently the lowest in decades in most developed countries and global pollution is stayin...

Re: Should Humanity go extinct?

I’ve been a doomer since 1973, read “The Population Bomb” (my mom bought the book) and “Limits to Growth.” Extinction will come from overpopulation, peak oil and pollution (climate change). Don’t believe there are other planets with intelligent life. Earth is unique. Read this book too: https://en....

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Grabowski works for the Holocaust industry, attempting to extort money from the Polish people but the Poles say they suffered too: A false equivalence of victimization is but one hallmark of the new Polish historical revisionism. Another hallmark is a state-sponsored effort that downplays antisemiti...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

It’s an inquisition into “reliable sources.” A cabel of editors got together off-wiki and bullied their POV into the article. I’m not sure what tipped the Revisionists off, maybe the phony, impractical gas chamber at the Warsaw Concentration camp article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_concent...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Haha, this “Holocaust in Poland” incident is potentially being arbitrated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Holocaust_in_Poland Reliable sources (revisionists, aka Holocaust deniers) proved the gas chamber there was phony. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_concent...
