> they’re trying to equate what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust to what happened to Poles during the Holocaust.

Well, Poland lost 6 million citizens during the WW2 and Jews lost the same amount - the tricky part is half of Polish casualties were of Jewish origin. So I don't believe anyone could equate these two - not to mention the fact that being Jewish meant you're practically dead if you couldn't find any helpful Poles, whereas if you were a Pole you had some chances of survival.


>Wikipedia had an entry for more than 15 years on its English-language website about a death camp in Warsaw during the years of the Holocaust that did not exist in real life, Haaretz reported on Friday.
