  • Fact Check: Hungary Is NOT Preparing To Prosecute 'Lifelong Nazi' George Soros

    Fact Check

    Is Hungary preparing to prosecute "lifelong Nazi" George Soros? No, that's not true: The claim, posted by a prolific publisher of fake news, is based on a single anonymous source. It repeats the oft-debunked claim that financier and philanthropist Soros was a Nazi. In fact, Soros, who is Jewish, lived through the Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944-45, when he…

    Fact Check

    Was Adolf Hitler, the head of the Nazi Party and dictator of Germany, actually black and does this photo prove it? No, that's not true: This picture is a color photo converted into black and white from an episode of a TV sitcom called "Community." The claim appeared on Instagram on December 23, 2022. It said: The more you know…

  • Fact Check: Science Does NOT Prove Nazi Germany's Use Of Zyklon B Gas To Commit Genocide Is Impossible

    Fact Check

    Is it impossible that Nazi Germany used a gaseous form of hydrogen cyanide, also known as Zyklon B, to commit mass murder in World War II concentration camps because the compound is "air soluble" and conditions in gas chambers "would not allow for sufficient concentrations of gas to form"? No, that's not true: A chemistry professor told Lead Stories that…

  • Fact Check: 'Six Million' Population Figure In Pre-WWII American News Stories About Jews Does NOT Confirm There Was No Holocaust

    Fact Check

    Does the repeated use of the figure 6 million in pre-World War II American newspaper reports about the world's Jewish communities prove there was no Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews are estimated to have died? No, that's not true: The research design behind the claim is deeply flawed: The video creators reached their conclusion by searching for a single…

  • Fact Check: Low Serial Number 'Holocaust Tatt(...)' Does NOT Prove There Were Fewer Victims

    Fact Check

    Does a low serial number of the Nazi concentration camp tattoo disprove the scale of the Holocaust? No, that's not true: Those serial numbers are irrelevant to estimating the death toll among the Jewish population because most of the victims were killed without getting a tattoo. The claim appeared on Instagram on November 30, 2022. The entry did not have…

    Fact Check

    Did former President Ronald Reagan deny that 6 million Jewish people were killed in concentration camps during World War II? No, that's not true: There is missing context to this video.

  • Fact Check: Media NOT 'Put To Death For Lying' At Nuremberg Trials -- Those Executed Were Convicted Of War Crimes Against Humanity

    Fact Check

    Was "even the media" prosecuted during the 1945-46 Nuremberg trials of Nazi Germany's leadership and "put to death for lying to the public"? No, that's not true: This claim misrepresents the purpose of these historical legal proceedings, which set a precedent for holding individuals accountable for crimes against humanity.

    Fact Check

    Did Adolf Hitler say that even in his death he would start World War 3? No, that's not true: This is a recycled conspiracy theory, and multiple historians told Lead Stories it didn't happen. Also, contrary to the claim's suggestion, Hitler and his Nazi regime were racist toward African Germans -- primarily based on skin color. The claim appeared in…
