Mention Holocaust victims murdered by shooting[edit]

The sentence "Many victims of the Holocaust were murdered in gas chambers, while others died of starvation or disease or while working as slave labourers." should be updated to say " Many victims of the Holocaust were murdered in gas chambers, while others died of starvation or disease or while working as slave labourers, or killed in mass shootings."

That's a good suggestion. The previous sentence mentions "mass executions" so I changed that to "mass shootings" and cited Evans as a source, and tweeked the following sentence too. (Shirer does not specify shootings on page 946.) — Diannaa (talk) 11:22, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Semitism vs Antisemitism[edit]

Hi there. It is now more accepted to use Antisemitism instead of the outdated 'Anti-semitism'. The latter was a term created as a pseudo-scientific explanation for the hatred of Jews, often associated with the Nazi ideology of racial classification (https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/spelling-antisemitism / https://www.adl.org/spelling-antisemitism-vs-anti-semitism).

The article is written in British English and the hyphenated form is still (I believe) more normal there. We tend to retain hyphens more than US writers. In US English, the hyphenated form has acquired negative connotations among orgs such as ADL in recent years. Either way it refers to irrational prejudice against Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pincrete (talkcontribs) 06:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)<diff>[reply]
