“Never again will half a million Jewish children be turned into soap and ash.”
The “soap and lampshades” myths about the Holocaust are not true, as debunked by historians. The soap myth, claiming Nazis made soap from Jewish victims’ fat, likely stemmed from wartime rumors and small-scale experiments at the Danzig Anatomical Institute, but no mass production occurred. DNA tests by Yad Vashem found no human DNA in soap samples. The lampshades myth, tied to Ilse Koch at Buchenwald, was disproven by forensic tests showing alleged lampshades were made from animal hide or plant cellulose, not human skin. These myths persist due to misinformation and are exploited by Holocaust deniers, highlighting the need for accurate education. https://grok.com
