Szymon Datner, statistics

Thanks to the power of the internet, and the devotion of people who digitize archives, now, we can read old documents previously limited to in-house research facilities. One of those precious documents from the past made available by the Central Jewish Library in Warsaw (Centralna Biblioteka Judaistyczna) is the paper by Szymon Datner titled Extermination of Jews in District Bialystok (Eksterminacja Żydów w Okręgu Białostockim) published in Biuletyn Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego, number 60, Warsaw 1966. — It is a fascinating resource.

In Table 4 on page 43 of his report (Tabela 4. Kreiskomisarat Grajewo), Datner provided data on the extermination of Jews in Wąsosz, as well as in Radziłów, among other district locations. According to his table: in 1939, there were 800 Jews in Wąsosz. In 1941: 1,200. – On 5 July 1941, the exacting number of 1,185 Jews had been murdered locally. However, there's only one source quoted by Datner in support of the above table data: Note 4. Rel. (relacja) nr 1846 by Menachem Finkelsztejn. The same deposition No. 1846 by Finkelsztejn ... widely discredited in the following decades as exaggerating the Jedwabne casualties by almost the factor of ten. Datner took his words at face value for both: Wąsosz, and Radziłów. He did not quote Finkelsztejn for the Jedwabne pogrom (Table 6 on page 46), but informed in Note 5 without commenting, that according to Finkelsztejn the number was 2,800.[1] Datner did not reveal his own source for the quoted 1,500 victims of the Jedwabne pogrom. But according to official investigation by the Institute of National Remembrance, the true number did not exceed 340 Jewish men and women. Poeticbent talk 21:20, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
