Description
"Dr. Wise Cites Jew Murders," an article in "The Pawtucket Times" which discusses Jewish leader, Dr. Steven S. Wise's claims about the extermination campaign against the Jewish people by Nazi Germany. Despite the importance of Wise in spreading awareness concerning the Holocaust, his claim that the Nazis used Jewish people to produce soap is debated both concerning veracity and scale. The roots of such a belief date back to World War I, with the propagandistic legend of the German Corpse Factory.
