Talk:Mass murders in Tykocin

message: The basic text is available in Polish . It's written by a Jew, so rather doesn't whitewash the Poles.
The pogrom took place days before the massacre, local peasants robbed Jewish homes. Later Germans organized the execution. The current title misinforms. The Holocaust wasn't a series of pogroms, but a planned extermination. Xx236 (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: According to Encyclopaedia Judaica

pogrom (looting) and massacre were separate events.
The massacre was obviously more important than the looting.Xx236 (talk) 11:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The title should be [[Tykocin massacre]]

replies: text: I don't have a really strong concrete opinion on the title - though it might split - e.g. the events in June may be properly described as pogrom, and the mass shooting by the Germans (with local assistance) as a massacre. The Polish wiki rolls with pogrom (though it looks like a straight up translation of the English wiki). The Hebrew wiki uses "Destruction of the Tykocin Jewish community" which may also be accurate.Icewhiz (talk) 12:52, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pogrom or massacre? 

message: Polish sources use Kapica. It's a Polish and Russian last name, Russian quoted here as Kapitsa.Xx236 (talk) 10:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Kapice follows the cited source. Agree it seems Kapica can be verified from Polish language source (perhaps we could add one to the article?). Spelling of names that originated in Yiddish/Polish/Russian (usually multiple variants originally) through transliterations/adaptations to English (at times via Hebrew) is generally a mess.Icewhiz (talk) 11:22, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
