UN's Albanese claims Jews in Nazi camps were called ‘Muslims,’ distorts history of 'antisemitism'

Francesca Albanese, a United Nations official, stated that Jews in Nazi concentration camps were sometimes referred to as 'Muslims' by other inmates while being led to gas chambers. The remark has drawn criticism for allegedly distorting the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust.

The claim centers on historical accounts from inside the camps, though critics argue the terminology and its usage misrepresent the targeted nature of Nazi persecution and the broader history of antisemitism.
