{{cleanup}}

This page has no citations and should be cleaned up for quality, grammar, and accuracy.

Also, the last paragraph is purely opinion and emotional and inappropriate to the article.

Reccommend the entire page be integrated into the Auschwitz article and/or updated with citations.

[edit] Added template messages

Added template messages based on earlier comments. I find that this article is not written from a neutral point-of-view based especially on the last paragraph, and no citations are included. It is a useful article but is not up to Wiki standards.

why is it not npov? seems neutral to me.I remember the controversy. at least in europe it received some attention.--Tresckow 10:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Seems neutral to me. In fact, it seems rather understated. --Charlene 20:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

If this is true this is not right.. there was no way there was as many catholics that died in the holocost as there was jewish people why is there no star of david erected at the site??

It could be right. 11 million people died in the holocaust, about six million of them Jews. Almost half were then not Jewish. Of those that were not Jewish, it would not be crazy to then deduce they were largely Catholic.--128.59.143.41 22:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Note, that the number of Jewish victims is based on the ethnic criterion, not religious (this was the only criterion used by the nazis). Among these there were also ethnic Jews of other religions, mosty Christian - and among them, mostly catholic. It might have be a relatively small number, although in the pre-war Poland (and possibly other countries) "conversions" were not that uncommon. That said, there must have also been a number of atheists among both Jewish and non-Jewish victims.

[edit] Article improvement

virtually none of the claims are cited

the one citation is to an interview with one rabbi

there are many weasel words: 'some catholics', 'some jews', etc... be more specific as to which/how many people we are talking about, and/or cite your claims (note that 'some catholics/jews' etc could be justified, i.e. if we're talking about some, but not all, catholics/jews, but it should be specific if possible, quantified if appropriate, and cited either way) --Arkelweis (talk) 19:16, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
