The public, most museums are publicly supported. History and knowledge (to an extent) should not be reserved for the wealthy and privileged.

You are talking about Warsaw Uprising from Operation Tempest - not Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Soviets behaved like this while 'liberating' the whole of Poland. In the east they allowed Polish fighters to fight alongside them only to arrest them after Germans were pushed out.

Sounds like something the people who run the museum should figure out. Making an effort to keep up with the times is any business’s responsibility

Meanwhile, Stalin ordered his forces to wait just outside Warsaw, with the deliberate intention of having any Polish nationalists liquidated, so they could just take over. Which they did.

Believing that the Allies would come, that they would have supplies and assistance. It never came.
The Russians waited until they had beaten each other to death and then entered. Took their heroes and executed them for being an example.

So museums should just give everything away for free? Who pays curators, restorators etc.? Ads from the internet?

I think they’re aiming that recommendation more to people that are open to the idea that the Holocaust happened

> I would like to know however what y’all think regarding this new development
It's exactly as bad to the extent to which people will deliberately misuse it.

With the advent of the Internet yes. History should not be reserved for the wealthy that can pay for the trip

I'm not sure what you mean.
75% of jews in French territory (metropolitan france occupied by Germany), excluding the one in north african territory or colonies

75% escaped, and it's interesting that you present the non-Jewish Frenchmen as more French and important.

Which conveniently takes credit for Algerian resistance.

Intentionally? I've similarly heard that Austrian incompetence saved a lot of Jews.

Over a quarter of them were Polish, but something like 90% of those were not from Warzaw.

Seems odd to want to require historical fiction watching. Holocaust deniers would have a field day.

No, not all. Many jews from other occupied territories and even Germany had been transferred to the Ghetto already after prior purges made room.
Its all freaking depressing but its nice to know at least some got away thanks to Polish help.

"Some 750 young Jewish fighters armed with just pistols and other light
arms attacked a German force more than three times larger. In their last
testaments they said they knew they were doomed but wanted to die at a
time and place of their own choosing."
Incredible bravery and strength.
If anyone's unfamiliar with what happened, I'd encourage you to watch The Pianist. While it's not a documentary, it covers the early days before the war, through the war itself from the perspective of a young musician. It should really be required watching in schools these days.

You think you know what a nationality is, but you don’t.
