Nazi war on the entire Jewish people

So we are hit with garbage on platforms which I do not wish to re promote here by even mentioning them. Fake news is an epidemic.

It appears that for at least a decade, Nazis-apologetic, on Wiki, have altered facts on most horrifying crime the world has known for hundreds of years. Shocking.

It's not ludicrous MGT's "space laser." This is serious stuff.

Wikipedia 'intentionally' distorts history of the Holocaust, study claims www.ynetnews.com/...

Paper demonstrates how small group of actors hijacks Holocaust-related entries on online encyclopedia to whitewash role of Polish society in genocide and bolster stereotypes about Jews Itamar Eichner | published: 02.12.23 A group of editors on popular encyclopedia website Wikipedia have been pushing a skewed version of the history of the Holocaust, according to a new study published last week in The Journal of Holocaust Research. According to the study, titled Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust, co-authors Prof. Shira Klein and Prof. Jan Grabowski claim that “In the last decade, a group of committed Wikipedia editors have been promoting a skewed version of history on Wikipedia, one touted by right-wing Polish nationalists, which whitewashes the role of Polish society in the Holocaust and bolsters stereotypes about Jews.” The paper demonstrates how a small group of actors can slowly manipulate the information and accuracy of entries on Wikipedia to fit a certain agenda. “Due to this group’s zealous handiwork, Wikipedia’s articles on the Holocaust in Poland minimize Polish antisemitism, exaggerate the Poles’ role in saving Jews, insinuate that most Jews supported Communism and conspired with Communists to betray Poles, blame Jews for their own persecution, and inflate Jewish collaboration with the Nazis,” Prof. Grabowski wrote.

And a note about Polish culpability. Auchwitz was IN Poland and many helped the Nazis in 'getting' the Jews.
