Remove anti-Semitic trope in article

Please take this out of the article:

... with some local Jews forming militias, taking over key administrative posts,[229] and collaborating with the NKVD. Other locals assumed that, driven by vengeance, Jewish communists had been prominent in betraying the ethnically Polish and other non-Jewish victims.[230]

This is an anti-Semitic trope of Jewish Bolshevism. The two crackpot sources for this are a Richard Lukas, who was at the center anti-Semitism controversies, and Pogonowski who is was an engineer by trade and wrote for far-right publications and spoke at a panel organized by the Polish American Congress known itself for Anti-Semitism controversies.212.114.16.180 (talk) 12:03, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Remove fringe estimate

Please take this out of the article:

Historian Richard C. Lukas[66] gives an estimate as high as three million Polish helpers; an estimate similar to those cited by other authors.[185][186]

Lukas is a crackpot source who was the center of anti-Semitism controversies, this is a fringe claim. Rescuers numbered in the tens of thousands at most. Rescuers faced persecution from their own Polish neighbors who turned them in to the Germans in order to received rewards or killed them in the hope of looting Jewish property or money held by the hiding Jews.212.114.16.180 (talk) 06:04, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
