Original Note:
Jewish death toll at Auschwitz wasn’t revised from 4M to 1M. Early Soviet claims inflated non-Jewish death of Communist Poles in Auschwitz to 4M as Cold War propaganda. Research has routinely confirmed total Auschwitz deaths of ~1.1M, ~90% Jewish. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/17/world/poland-agrees-to-change-auschwitz-tablets.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/05/07/fixing-the-numbers-at-auschwitz/ https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution
