THE MOST FAMOUS HOLOCAUST PHOTO OF ALL TIME....IS A FAKE.
Perhaps you've seen this photo before. I see it posted all the time on X. This photo is located in the US National Archives in the section "World War II photos" with the caption "Slave labor in the Buchenwald concentration camp near Jena, where many died of malnutrition when American troops entered the camp".
Considering it's in the US National Archives, one would think that it HAS to be the real deal. Most people just glance in passing and do not think twice to question it.

Well as it turns out, The photo was published by the New York Times, May 6, 1945, in an article titled "The World Must Not Forget," with the caption "Overcrowded sleeping quarters at Buchenwald prison camp."
Upon closer inspection, does anything seem odd to you?
It was reprinted the next day on May 6, 1945 in
the Sunday supplement of the New York Times

Here is a closer look. Anything seem off to you?
Oh THAT'S what was missing! The articles don't show the poor little immaciated jewish man standing against the wooden post.
The edge of the arm from the elbow to the shoulder joint is sloppily retouched - apparently in the original photo this man was leaning on the wall, and when it was cut out, the arm came out "pinched".

That surely wasn't going to stop the Buchenwald holocaust museum curator from including this photo from their exhibit.
In order to hide such an obvious falsification, the photo was simply cropped off at the Buchenwald Museum. This picture was taken on January 29, 2012.

...and when Obama came to visit the museum
they removed it all together!
they removed it all together!
The best part IMO is that the man they edited
into the photo isn't even jEWISH
The name of the standing naked man is Simon
Toncman, a Frenchmen, who entered the camp
as a member of the resistance movement.
In this photo, he is standing in the center
wearing a French beret, which was worn by
communists in the camp
Note that Toncman and some of the prisoners in
both photos have well-groomed beards, while
others are clean-shaven

Amnnnd .....Here is the FAKE photo of a French communist in the National Archive.
It's genuine if they say it's genuine because they are the ones who write history.

Now why would they EVER do something like this?!
