re: #356 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Actually, I think the # they’re fact checking is the prisoner number in the sign? Not the crowd size.

I remember Obama getting in some bother because he said, based on family recollections, that his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz. It turned out it wasn’t Auschwitz, but rather Ohrdruf, a camp associated with Buchenwald.

One wonders how much gets distorted as it goes from family member to family member, especially if the person who experienced it originally doesn’t like talking about it.
