The fake Nazi death camp: Wikipedia’s longest hoax, exposed - Israel News - Haaretz.com
An Israel Wikipedia editor (that goes by the user name "Icewhiz") uncovered a hoax by perpetuated by polish nationalist, to present the KL Warschau concentration camp as a death camp on Wikipedia.
The page has been translated into multiple languages and flase information contained in the article has made its was into numerous wiki pages about the """holocaust""", which include the """Extermination camp""" article, where it was listed with camps like Auschwitz and Majdanek.
Icewhiz has been battling with polish editors (Team Poland) over the article. He lost standing with Wikipedia for his aggressive tactics, pro Israel bias and using anti polish slurs such as “Polocaust” and “Polophile”.
^^^Does this apply to other groups too?
Now the article has been locked and contains information on the "Longest running Wikipedia hoax"
Why would anyone lie about the """holocaust"""? What's next? Are we going to learn that authors like Jerzy Kosinski made up stories about the "holocaust", in order to gain influence amongst influential Jewish circles and sell books...
“The first gassing there took place on October 17, 1943, killing at least 150 Poles caught in a street roundup and about 20 Belgian Jews …. Bodies were either cremated in crematoriums or open-air pyres (including at a former sports stadium) or simply buried under collapsed buildings during the systematic demolition of the former ghetto .... [Some estimates] place the number of the camp’s victims well above 212,000, mainly Poles and several thousand of non-Polish.”
They come to honor the memory of thousands of Poles murdered in a gas chamber located near the Warsaw West (Warszawa Zachodnia) train station – which still exists – and have even erected monuments and plaques in their memory.
There’s just one problem: No such death camp ever existed. There is no historical evidence of German gas chambers ever existing in Warsaw, and nowhere near 200,000 people died in the cluster of Nazi internment centers that did stand at the basis of the myth of KL Warschau.

A church memorial plaque commemorates the "200,000 victims." The number is "baseless," Prof. Dreifuss says.

“What you have are small-time concentration installations which are now getting magnified by right-wing conspiracy theories to include hundreds of thousands of Polish victims – their objective is to increase Polish losses and therefore Polish victimhood”.

However, the fact that Icewhiz may be guilty of the same sins he accuses the Poles of committing on Wikipedia, does not make his argument factually wrong.
