Why is this on a Talk page? If I remember correctly a list like this used to be a on a regular article page. What happened? If there was some kind of split or move was there a reason why this list wasn't given its own page as well? Verso.Sciolto (talk) 08:38, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Esther Raab[edit]

Currently, the chart links to the wrong Esther Raab. The correct Esther Raab (just died) is not the one in this article (died in '81). I would correct this but I'd probably bugger up the code. :) Would someone please correct this? Cheers,

Major problems with notability[edit]

Similar to unconfirmed list of perpetrators not notable individually, discussed at Talk:Trawniki men#Complete list, loosely remembered names of survivors picked up only from the first-party memoirs have no place in Wikipedia. A sea of redlinks have been de-linked for now as the minimum precaution because these entries do not exist and there's nothing to write about. See WP:LISTPEOPLE for more.

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of survivors of Sobibór. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://archive.is/20140331221827/http://yivo.org/index.php?aid=105&tid=117 to http://yivo.org/index.php?aid=105&tid=117

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 18 January 2022).

Incorrect details on entries[edit]

The link for Josef Cukierman goes to a person who committed suicide in 1941, when it says that this survivor died in 1963.

Moshe Hochman - born 1953? How is he a survivor of Sobibor?

Simjon Rosenfeld - date of death "Alive" yet it states age of death 96.

Philip Bialowitz - no age of death given, yet his wiki page says he was 90. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8308:23E:2F00:1FB:6E2F:CAAB:97E5 (talk) 12:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Sobibór trial which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 21:02, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing death dates[edit]

Just leaving a note that I'm going to be using newspaper obituaries to cite death dates of recently deceased individuals. I'm not hugely happy about this, since obituaries tend to have numerous factual errors about survivors' lives. If you disagree with this choice, let's discuss. And if you're reading this in the future, when there might be print sources that give death dates for the last handful of survivors, please update the sources! Botterweg14 (talk) 13:33, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out Cüppers et al (Fotos aus Sobibor) has accurate death dates for the last handful of survivors. Botterweg14 (talk) 20:21, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
