Factual accuracy

[edit]

During World War II Beuthen's Jews were herded into a ghetto

This is simply not given by the source. Beuthen/Bytom is only mentioned twice in the presented book (and only in footnotes) and it's only mentioned that a transport from Beuthen arrived at Auschwitz on 15 February 1942. In general Ghettos didn't exist inside Germany, they were established in the occupied territories. Unless someone presents a source clearly stating a Jewish ghetto existed in Beuthen the article is rather a case for deletion (the fate of the Jewish congregation should be included in the Bytom article).

The seal of the Jewish post office at Beuthen [2] reads something like this (please correct the spelling if necessary):

Judische Kultusvereinig * Beuthen O/S

[edit]

There was a Jewish administrative unit in Beuthen for sure, with a separate post office of course. However, I agree that caution needs to be exercised here, and I edited the article accordingly. Thanks. --Poeticbent talk 16:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The linked page is called "ghettos and other jewish communities" and desribes Beuthen as
Beuthen was a town in Silesia. After 1945, it became Bytom, Poland. Although there had been a medieval Jewish community in the town, the Jewish population did not begin to grow until the early 1700's. By 1932, the Jewish population was about 3,500 (3.77% of the total population. During Kristallnacht, the synagogue and many Jewish stores were destroyed. By 1939, many Jews had left leaving a population of about 1,300 Jews. By 1942, most of the remaining Jews were deported, primarily to Auschwitz
it's not claimed the Jewish Community of Beuthen lived in a ghetto.
  • The linked letter has a brand "Jüdische Kultusvereinig." - meaning "Jewish Cultural Association" simply identifying the sender, it's not a seperate Jewish Post office. However it would be WP:OR to say, there's a Jewish Post Office, there must have been also a ghetto.
  • There was a Jewish Congregation in Beuthen, off course, and they were the first to be deported and murdered in Auschwitz, but a GHETTO simply didn't exist in Beuthen.
  • We might call the article "Jewish Congregation of Beuthen", which would need a lot of work to be expanded or delete it and mention the fate of the Beuthen Jews at Bytom. HerkusMonte (talk) 18:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made the necessary changes and moved the article to a new title supported by my Google search results. The Beuthen Jewish Community had its own secretary dating back at least to 19th century,[3] so the article should be OK now. Thanks for helping out. --Poeticbent talk 20:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
