Talk:Pińsk Ghetto

Recent edit
Preserving here by providing this link. Some of the content and sourcing was problematic, or outright erroneous, such as in these instances:


 * During the Red Army's rapid retreat, on 5–7 August 1941 the Waffen SS massacred as many as 11,000 Jewish men of Pińsk aged 16 to 60,[3] due to reports of Soviet guerrilla activity in the area.[4] -- Nazi conspiracy theories indeed connected Jews to the "partisan threat". However, the murder of Pinsk Jews in August had nothing to do with partisans, whether real or imagined. An aside: by the time these events occurred, the Wehrmacht had controlled the area since 4 July, and in any case, the source used does not make this connection.
 * Pinsk was part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine, not Reichskommissariat Ostland, so the mentions of Byelorussian Rada are out of place, as here: From 1941 to 1943 Pińsk was occupied by Nazi Germany, governed by the collaborationist Belarusian Central Council supported by the Nazi Belarusian battalions of the Home Defence.
 * The timeline was off; for example, the article stated: The relocation action took place on 1 May 1942. A Judenrat'' was formed..." In fact, the Judenrat was formed on 30 July 1941. Etc.
