Do the editions agree on facts?
Whether editions agree on load-bearing facts (counts, categories). Contradictions — especially ones later corrected — are worth checking.
| factual question | now |
|---|---|
| How many Jews were killed in the Jedwabne pogrom? | contradict |
| EN cites up to 1,600 (often cited figure) while DE gives at least 340 with a range of 300-400, a large numeric discrepancy; PL is vague ('several hundred') which is compatible with DE but not clearly with EN's higher figure. | |
| Who carried out the killings — local Polish residents or German forces? | agree |
| All three agree local Polish residents carried out the killings, with some form of German involvement/inspiration/coordination noted in each. | |
| What was the role of the German authorities? | differ |
| All acknowledge German involvement but differ in emphasis: EN stresses German ultimate control/coordination, PL frames Germans as inciters per Heydrich's policy, DE presents it as disputed among historians ranging from passive to active roles. | |
Shared-source overlap (context only, skewed by edition language): now: 0.03.
