 * Hello there, please explain how this is vandalism? It is true that the Vice Consul who invited Jones was Oscar Ehrt. It is true that his son Adolf Ehrt, was at the time one of Germany's chief propagandists, if not the chief one, in spreading anti-Soviet propaganda about the famine and would very soon after become head of the Anti-Komintern. It is true that without the invitation from Adolf Ehrt's father Jones would have been unable to make his trip to Ukraine and witness the famine conditions that he did. The invitation was vital in helping bring about Jones' exposé. Jones publicised for humanitarian/ journalistic reasons what the Nazis wanted to publicise for propaganda reasons, but were reluctant to publicise themselves for diplomatic reasons. May I suggest that is the removal of these salient facts, without which it is not possible to fully understand the story, that is the real vandalism? Save for a valid explanation on your part, in the interest of truth, I believe they should be replaced. I look forward to your reply. Shakeslemon (talk) 21:51, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
