Mark ElliottThis is a fascinating and illuminating read, with implications well beyond Wikipedia – think of all the careful narrative framing and dubious claims that you see on social media and hear from politicians – even supposedly mainstream politicians, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, who attempted to minimise the British use of concentration camps during the Boer War by falsely claiming that the death rate in those camps was the same as the death rate in Glasgow at the time.
A reference to a discussion and debunking of Rees-Mogg's claims, for those who are not familiar with that particular grubby episode (which, for the avoidance of doubt, I am not suggesting was the actions of Nazis, but rather another example of an attempt to whitewash history by minimising atrocities):
