Talk:The Holocaust in Libya

History was deleted when page was moved

I redirected the page to here, and now the previous page of The Holocaust in Italian Libya: Revision history doesn't exist anymore. Does anyone know how to bring it back or move the article there without changing its current proper name (just like others in this template), "The Holocaust in Libya"?

Apparently you redirect was disruptive (it seems you tried to copy-paste the content instead of making a physical move, which would move the history as well). Now it is fixed, but is located at The Holocaust in Italian Libya. If you wish to move it to The Holocaust in Libya, it is not possible (the back-path had been blocked by your last edits). In any case the events took place in Italian Libya and not the State of Libya, so i suggest to keep it this way.Greyshark09 (talk) 20:25, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Totally biased and wrong. The Italians did not carry out mass killings of Jews in Libya, that's false! In fact the worst oppression was carried out by German soldiers and SS officers. I've changed the article title to "The Jews of Libya during the Holocaust". I think that this both avoids giving the false impression that the Italian authorities were carrying out a genocidal policy against Jews in Libya, and wrongly implying that the State of Libya was itself carrying out such a policy.

Important general notes about the article

I've just finished doing a thorough research about this well written article. Apparently, the majority of its content was translated from the Hebrew version of this article, which had existed before this one was created. So first off, even though I didn't originally create it, I'm giving credit to the Hebrew article as Wikipedia requires. Now, everything written in the Hebrew version is accurate, verifiable and well sourced, but often uses actual books in Hebrew as references. Therefore, in case anyone wonders, some of the detailed information provided in this article which isn't specifically sourced was directly taken from the Hebrew one, so no worries, nothing is made up. Any further questions are welcomed.. Shalom11111 (talk) 16:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Jews of Libya during the Holocaust → The Holocaust in Libya – We currently use two formats for article titles in Category:The Holocaust by country. The first is "The Holocaust in Foo" which is used in relation to directly affected countries; the second is "Foo and the Holocaust" for countries involved only indirectly. The suggested title brings the article into line with the former and is also clearer. It should be noted that there is also scholarly usage of this formula. —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:13, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

• Move to The Holocaust in Italian Libya. "Italian Libya" is more accurate than "Libya". This precision also has precedent given the articles The Holocaust in the Independent State of Croatia and The Holocaust in German-occupied Serbia.VR _talk 04:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
• Support original move, which is more consistent with other articles eg. the Holocaust in Slovakia, the Holocaust in Byelorussia, the Holocaust in Poland etc. given that independent nations of Byelorussia, Poland, etc. did not exist at the time and the Slovak State had different borders than Slovakia does today.

Naming

I have a problem with this article’s title. The Holocaust is, as I understand it, defined as the genocide of European Jews in WWII. The Jews of Libya were not European, and I haven’t seen sources that discuss their concentration as part of the Holocaust per se. I see the article was named this way citing various similar titles, but those articles all referred to European countries.

I agree that this is a problem, a seeming contradiction between our article at The Holocaust and this one. See also the new addition to the lead at Jews outside Europe under Axis occupation. —Srnec (talk) 23:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
