Missing comma

The third paragraph in the "Extermination procedure" section has a sentence missing a comma. It should read, "At Auschwitz, clothes . . ."

In the part where it says "The victims of death camps were primarily murdered by gassing", remove the word "by" from the link that goes to the article called "Gas chamber". Swissairproud001 (talk) 22:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the introduction, the genocide is described as "Nazi Germany's 'Final Solution...". The phrasing of genocide in these terms is sensitive, and the suggestion that the Holocaust was indeed a 'solution' is implicit in this sentence. I would suggest that the wording be changed to something like, "Nazi's described this genocide as..." or some such. VelvetCommuter (talk) 14:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The current wording is fine. The quotes show that it is a Nazi phrase, and to me "Jewish Question" implies some kind of solution. Phrasing it like this lets the reader see how banal the political discussion around the Holocaust was at the time. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 16:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

number incorrect

Besides the 6 Polish ECs listed in this article, Holocaust_victims#Jews correctly lists one of the two Belarus ECs: Maly Trostenets. But there is a 2nd one in Belarus: Bronna Góra.

So I suggest you correct both pages to 8 ECs, like here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernichtungslager#Im_Bezirk_des_Reichskommissariats_Ostland
