Yad Vashem criticizes deal between #Israel and #Poland which decides locations visited by #Israeli Schools.
« [C]omplete historical accuracy, including the role of Poles in the persecution, handing in, and murder of Jews during the #Holocaust, as well as in acts of rescue. The recent agreement to renew educational visits to Poland does not appear to dictate or limit their operation in this respect. »

Andrew Ezergailis in a review of Anton Weiss-Wendt's "Murder Without Hatred: Estonians and the Holocaust" described the #Kaunas pogrom as a German “theatrical production”. This description to this day still disgusts me.

Pope Francis engages in #Holocaustobfuscation comparing the current war in #Ukraine to the #Holocaust.

Currently there is "no evidence of #Ukrainian genocide in separatist-controlled Donbas" or "#Russian genocide in Ukraine". But ample evidence of "war crimes" exist, particularly in "Bucha by the #Russian forces".
