New York Times, May 10th, 1943:

The entire post at: Historians: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Was Overreaction (By Red Square 8/7/2006) is a must read. Hats off to the “Broom of Truth.”

I looked at this NY Times paper you've posted and at first look I was really skeptical that it could be the real thing. American sentiment in 1943 was very anti-Nazi since we were fighting the Germans at that time and having every front page article being anti-semitic seemed absolutely ludicrous to me.
ReplyDeleteI started to do some research and found that the New York Times archives did not have any articles with these headlines, and especially not on May 10, 1943. I researched the famous photo further and found out that it was actually originally taken by German SS troops and printed in a report to Himmler that was only recovered AFTER the war-----well after 1943.
Finally, I did some more looking around and found out that the whole thing is a hoax published by the The People's Cube, a Web site devoted to lampooning left-wing "political correctness." You can get all the details here:

It's extremely ironic that you posted this to decry media propaganda when that is exactly what you have fallen prey to yourself. I hope you post a correction and apology so that the issue can be laid to rest in an honorable manner.
And I hope that you start to double check some of the propaganda that you post. There is a lot of misinformation flying around the internet and I hope that you feel strongly against being a tool of propaganda organizations, especially when they are outright lies.
