#Wikipedia probably deletes and "undeletes" pictures of the #Shoa due to copyright bullshit. "This media file has been nominated for deletion since 13 January 2020.": commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gas_… (see picture) and commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:D…. Deletion and 
undeletion are strange processes of historiography in this subsystem of lexis. Retrieval is the precondition of undeletion and as an option it shows the general dependency of wikipedia itself. It is not - Wolfgang Hagen once claimed this - a forgetting or oblivion into
structures of memory and storage. It is a partly dynamic system of storage and semantics based on a material basis. As there is no such thing as a copyright and no copyright of the Shoa conditions are changeable.
And changeable are social forms of retrospection. The Getty Images, the Visual China Group, your National Gallery.
