Change conspiracy theory to theory and add clarification that 200’000 is the largest estimate given for gas chamber deaths, as well as adding different sources for the historiography surrounding the camp, such as Norman Davies’ Rising ’44 discussion and so forth.
The tone of this part is uncharacteristically and unnecessarily hostile and apparently reflects an editing conflict in which a bellicose accusation is implicitly made against another side, attempting to make the other ‘side’ as unacceptable as possible.
People should be extra careful when they feel the need to do so, especially when they have the power to do so, to make sure they’re not taking advantage of it.
This doesn’t require one to even change the overall conclusion.
The point is, if one is making the claim that a claim isn’t made with proper basis, one should adhere to a higher standard. One should try to be charitable towards others and their attempts if one can. I believe that there is a measure of unbridled hostility towards others here, which is very dangerous when given power. It seems like its goal is to get a “win” and attempt to discredit others, which is a temptation people should avoid if possible.
The idea that it is a “conspiracy theory” is somewhat spurious, no “conspiracy” is stated which would be required for it.
The highest claim for dead at a subcamp was 200’000 total.
The post, given discourse around it seems ideologically hostile. I’ve seen people even call it a “hoax” (!) which is incredibly disrespectful.
London Review of Books is the only source given.
Norman Davies noted discourse around the damp in Rising ’44.
The language is definitely bellicose or hostile, treating the person as an enemy not even someone wrong. That does not fit the bar for discourse that this demands. 2A02:A310:E23F:400:8C39:3F2B:51BC:9D42 (talk) 05:21, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am almost certain that this site is more than a square metre in size. Please consider amending the location to an appropriate level of precision (1 second is around 30 metres, so decimals are less than that) 2A0A:EF40:32E:1801:F92F:8C60:A4BF:F07 (talk) 06:28, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
