Granddaughter of only Holocaust Blagaj massacre survivor

I would like to know, why Wiki, is not accepting a facts from kids and grandkids of Holocaust survivors and my grandfather was only single survivor of Blagaj massacre?

1. First this was Holocaust . Period. Why this fact keeps get deleted ? Do you need a written resource for this?

2. My grandafather name was Vasan ( Bajs ) Mihajlovic, who built a monument for victims on the Kriz ( Veljun ) and he lived with deep survival guilt for the rest of his life. He and his wife lived surrounded with more than 500 widows and only couple who had kids after genocide.

3. He told us it was 545 Serbs killed, why this number can not be written but keeps getting deleted?

4. Asking to write a book, or find a written resource? Are you serious? Do you think in Nuremberg trials or Auschwitz survivors were asked to write a book so they can testify and tell the true to the world?

I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather went through that. Wikipedia requires a WP:RS for everything written. Your grandfather's oral history shared with the family doesn't meet the reliable sources policy requirements. What we are looking for here is a secondary source such as a book about the crimes of the NDH that has been reliably published. Also, the definition of this massacre as part of the Holocaust also needs a reliable published source. The Holocaust is generally considered to include only the killing of Jews, was your grandfather or any of the other people killed a Jew?

I'm also sorry to hear about your grandfather's ordeal, TraumaFacts. But per WP:PRIMARY: "Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material." If you have a secondary source which states that your grandfather was the only survivor of the massacre (a book, newspaper report, etc.), you are welcome to provide it, and then that information would be included in the article.
