Who or what is behind the current swamping of the social media giant with fake holocaust stories? The Mystery deepens.

Are holocaust cynics responsible?  Is it the intention of sceptics to use the thousands of flaws in the government-sponsored holocaust narrative to put the entire holocaust out of business?  

To Israel and the international Jewish community, the alleged holocaust is worth an estimated trillion dollars a year.

On the other hand, the beleaguered internationally condemned state of Israel could be using fake and often ludicrous holocaust weepy stories to claw back sympathy during Israel’s genocidal attempts to remove the 2,000-year-old Palestinian nation from the face of the earth.

Speculation suggests that Israel has created hundreds of agencies staffed by Israelis who spend their entire working shifts churning out – and replying to fake holocaust narratives to generate support for the flailing Israeli state.

Among the most brazen cases is the fake story of a fictional character named ‘Anja Bakker.’

Social media posts on Facebook and other platforms typically tell the tale of an 11-year-old Dutch girl, born in the city of Haarlem, who liked nothing more than making daisy chains, which she used to decorate her neighborhood.

The story, embellished with an AI-generated image of a sweet-looking child in a flower-laden meadow, claims to trace the girl’s life from her childhood in the Netherlands to her supposed death at the Sobibor death camp in eastern Poland.

However, ‘Anja’ did not exist and her story is fake, Auschwitz historians said.

They note that her name, like others featured in thousands of such posts, does not feature in what they claim are ‘credible Holocaust victim databases.’

The analysts agree that the girl is a fictional character who never existed. Her entire biography is fabricated.

Museum officials shared many other posts featuring fully or partly fabricated elements, including two posts about female victims, both strikingly similar to the ‘Anja Bakker’ story, and an image of an orchestra playing at Auschwitz.

Fake AI-produced posts, such as these, they claim, ‘exploit Holocaust memory for clicks, shares, and reach’. They play a role in causing ‘confusion and the erosion of historical accuracy,’ Auschwitz Memorial Museum officials said.

They underlined several telltale signs of AI-driven fake content, including overly perfect images, stories rich in emotion but without historical grounding and accounts unrelated to Holocaust history.

Social media users, they added, should generally be ‘cautious’ about emotional Holocaust tributes posted online beyond official channels.

The museum called on Meta (Facebook) to help combat such content, adding that it was troubling that the tech giant had declined to do so up to this point.
