Please help fix this, honest mistake

My apologies everyone, I tried to edit the picture caption of Goeth's house and I didn't put the code in properly. As it should be can be seen at the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Jonas-Rosenzweig

and the code is:

The balcony of Amon Goeth's house in Płaszów, from which Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig said Goeth would shoot at prisoners. Later, he used to step outside to hunt humans, with his Tyrolean hat marking his intentions. It was the signal for seasoned prisoners to attempt to hide.

Thank you

gas chambers

There is a scene in Schindler's List where it shows little kids being led downstairs and then the camera cuts to a smoke stack. Were there gas chambers at this camp? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.239.43 (talk) 22:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

There were no gas chambers within the compounds of the Płaszów camp. Though I will point out that the commanding SS officer Amon Göth did ask for permission from the Administrative Offices of Berlin to build a series of gas chambers in the camp in early 1944, but his request was denied. -Folklore777 (talk) 12:14, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

FYI - The scene you mention was Auschwitz, not Plaszow. Right after the women shower (not gas) scene. MALOEBOO (talk) 23:33, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Actual built Date

There seems to be some inconsistency here. On Amon Geoth Wiki, it states the following: "His first assignment, starting on 11 February 1943, was to oversee the construction of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp, which he was to command.[12] The camp took one month to construct using forced labor. On 13 March 1943" So the camp was NOT made in the summer but in the spring. He was assigned his task and he completed the camp 1 month afterward. So that in March of 1943 — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueYears (talk • contribs) 07:32, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

NPOV

There is too much emotive and biased language in this article. This needs to be tidied up to make it more encyclopaedic. For instance the claim of it being "notorious for horrible terrors".Royalcourtier ([[2601:41:C782:2300:B4DB:CCDA:DB3D:F781 (talk) 21:47, 9 May 2023 (UTC)User talk:Royalcourtier|talk]]) 00:08, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Was Franz-Joseph Müller benign?

That under Franz-Joseph Müller, the camp's second commandant, prisoners did not experience any shootings or hangings seems to be contradicted by Josef Müller - Trial Decision. True, he was suspended as commandant and sent to the Eastern Front for sometimes being too kind to Jews. Perhaps he was being compared to Amon, his successor in the given ref (Brecher, Elinor (1994). Schindler's Legacy: True Stories of the List Survivors. New York, NY: Dutton. p. 185). That book is available for borrowing at Archive.org - I will check it when it becomes available.

Please add ..

Under the Personnel section, after sentence 3 ...

"Prisoner Edward Mosberg witnessed a great number of atrocities committed by Goeth. 2603:7000:2143:8500:1504:385B:BEAE:C2F5 (talk) 06:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: I don't believe the article is improved by mentioning the account of a particular victim when sources and prose already properly articulate Goeth's actions. —Sirdog (talk) 04:20, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
