Description edit

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. (George Santayana)

Task Force per lo Studio dell'Olocausto e della sua Negazione User Group (Task Force for the Study of the Holocaust and its Denial User Group, simplified in Task Force Studio Olocausto User Group) is a user group of people interested in improving and developing the documentation of the persecutions, deportations and crimes of the Nazi-Fascist period and it's denial across the Wikimedia projects. In this moment our group operates in two projects in Italian Wikipedia: Persecutions and deportations and crimes of the Nazi-Fascist period and Women and the Holocaust, especially the subproject By the mouth of the perpetrators: The Nazis admit extermination and gas chambers which is the Wikipedia page of our real activity. We are happy to extend the collaboration to other affiliates, projects and individuals who want to serious contribute on the topic in any other language.

Objectives edit

  • Improving, with seriousness and precision - based on the wikimedian philosophy - all the thousands of articles about the Holocaust accross the Wikimedia projectss and create new article both on facts not reported up to now, and on new biographies concerning all the encyclopedic characters who were involved in the Holocaust.
  • Correcting errors in our projects or not enough verified informations written years ago without a real knowledge on the Holocaust.
  • Promoting a fruitful collaboration with historians and other personalities, with national and international institutions of the Holocaust/Shoah, Government of the Italian Republic and Italian universities by having access to their important databases on the Holocaust and establish lasting collaborations for conferences and webinars.
  • Spreading knowledge of the internal complexity of the Holocaust - Spread knowledge of the internal processes of the Holocaust.
