Under "First mass transport of Jews" under "Camps", some countries are listed. Here however, the Netherlands is listed as 'Holland'. Please change this to 'the Netherlands'. Paul0416 (talk) 13:35, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed a small sentence which states "Some inmates were given soap and a towel" before gassing.

However, on the Miklós Nyiszli article is states: "Historian Gideon Greif characterized Nyiszli's assertion that "soap and towels were handed out to the victims" as they entered the gas chambers and that "toxic gas was released from the showerheads" as among the “myths and other wrong and defamatory accounts” of the Sonderkommando that flourished in the absence of first-hand testimony by surviving Sonderkommando members" and cites this

I think if the towel/soap testimony traces to one person then it's probably not necessarily accurate.
