Ngram Viewer

Ngram Search in Google Books reveals that between 1940 and 2008 the use of placename Sobibor in English literature (without the Polish diacritic) which peaked in 1986 has declined considerably in the last decade. In the same timeframe the use of Sobibór (with the diacritic) remained low by comparison nevertheless. There's no comparative data of anykind after 2008 in Ngram Viewer.[1]

Research

" ... seven pits with a total volume of roughly 19,000 square meters." If it's volume, it should be cubic metres. On the other hand, the author may have meant that the area of the mass graves is 19,000 m². Impossible for me to tell. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 04:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interactions between prisoners and perpetrators

In this section, "aggressive St. Bernard named Barry that Kurt Bolender and Paul Groth would sic on prisoners" - the word "sic" is odd and should be, I imagine "set". Masonmilan (talk) 10:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
