Burnt alive is fine. Very quick addendum , "it's fine" from a spelling sense. Also as the article repeatedly uses a quote using "burned alive", burned is probably best for consistency. Also now realising this is a really old comment. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 15:45, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: A source would be required for this modification. Based on my research, this change is unsupported because the Podlaskie Voivodeship was not established until 1999. This means that during the event in question, the region was still "Podlasie". Also, please refrain from duplicating requests without adding additional information. Thanks.

A typo in PIS (it should be spelled as PiS, as the 'i' is just the equivalent of 'and'). Please switch the last fragment to: "The PiS party's controversial "history policy" has included criticism of these apologies, with President Andrzej Duda denouncing Komorowski's apology[sources].

The pogrom was one of many. There were pogroms in the area between Romania and Estonia. The government of Romania instigated the crimes, the other lands were occupied by the Germans. The only book describing the pogroms, by Witold Medykowski, is referenced in this Wikipedia only as a source about Polish antisemitism, which ignores the majority of its content.

What point are you trying to make?
The section I think you are taking issue is, from what I gather from Jan T. Gross's book Neighbors. Could you specify?
1.The book started disputes. It was based on one account based exclusively on hearsay. There are tens books on the subject, mostly in Polish. The book by Gross is rather a moral essay than an academic text. There is a two volume official book by the IPN, based on many documents. Imagine an article about JFK assasination based on one account by a person who did not see the attentat and had no tv and press access.
2. German Einsatztruppen and Romanian army murdered hundreds thousands Jews during that time. They instigated pogroms in Romania and several occupied countries till Estonia. Selecting one poorly documented crime from hundreds or thousands is biased.
3.The Soviets killed at least 10,000 of prisoners during the Summer. The Nazis falsely accused local Jews, which caused pogroms, eg. in Lviv. A number of Jedwabne men survived the Soviet killings and influenced local opinions. Jerzy124 (talk) 08:59, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. So I still don't know what you mean by your comment. What do you want done? Is your issue the book? Can you elaborate further?
Secondly I address each of your points:
I agree that Neighbors started disputes. Perhaps adding a new section within Legacy would be interesting to add. Again, I would like to use The Neighbors Respond for this. Also the book by the IPN is extremely well known in the scholarly sources. Additionally, the article on this page mentions it.
You are correct that the Einsatztruppen were in the area and Dariusz Stola has proposed that theory (The Neighbors Respond, Jedwabne: How was it Possible). I don't understand your problem with this fact? It is not biased to point out that the crime in Jedwabne happened? No scholar has disputed its occurrence.
I will need a source regarding your claim that "A number of Jedwabne men survived the Soviet killings and influenced local opinions"? Additionally I do not understand what point you want to make with this? Influenced the opinions of those in Lviv to commit the pogroms? To commit the pogrom itself in Jedwabne?
Would it be apt to add a section of how the debate played out within Jedwabne itself here or within the Jedwabne page. I plan to use The Neighbors Respond as the main source for the section. Chefs-kiss (talk) 15:34, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I respect that you are interested, but Gross' texts are controversial. There are hundreds sources, mostly in Polish. You would never edit a text about USA or UK based on one biased book, but you use or want to use such source about Poland. Jerzy124 (talk) 09:19, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Neighbors Respond is not by Jan T. Gross. It is a very well known book within the field. It is written by other scholars regarding the on-going debate in Poland. It is a translation of Polish articles. It outlines the historiography debates, the societal debates and the debates outside of Poland.
It contains: Transcripts of TV Debates, translation of news articles, scholar articles, etc.
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Spintendo 23:05, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
