Maybe you could look through Russian Wikipedia in the meantime.

Oh my god I can’t believe I’ve been missing the forest for the trees. There’s so many footnotes here.

I appreciate it, comrades. If anything, this also builds a pretty solid case for just removing that claim from the Wiki page outright.

I can’t find it, but there’s a gut-wrenching excerpt from a Red Army soldier’s memoir about them trying to speak different languages to the prisoners upon discovering the camp. They weren’t understanding the soldiers until one spoke Yiddish, and then the prisoners’ eyes lit up because they realized they were safe.

Ooo thank you for the link. Luckily I have Jstor access through my job so I’ll give it a read later.
