While Hamas had boycotted the January 2005 presidential election, during which Mahmoud Abbas was elected to replace Yasser Arafat, it did participate in the municipal elections held between January and May 2005, in which it took control of Beit Lahia and Rafah in the Gaza Strip and Qalqilyah in the West Bank. The January 2006 legislative elections marked another victory for Hamas, which gained the majority of seats, defeating the ruling Fatah party.

Typhus not execution?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhus

"During World War II, many German POWs after the loss at Stalingrad died of typhus. Typhus epidemics killed those confined to POW camps, ghettos, and Nazi concentration camps who were held in unhygienic conditions. Pictures of mass graves including people who died from typhus can be seen in footage shot at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp."

"thousands of prisoners in concentration camps such as Theresienstadt and Bergen-Belsen who died of typhus"

"2. The Nazis made soap from Jewish corpses

There is no factual basis to this claim, but many people are still convinced that it’s true"

Haaretz

"While the soap-making rumor was widely circulated and published as fact in numerous books and newspaper articles after the war, the myth has been debunked for many decades"

"Historian Joachim Neander states that the rumors which allege that the Nazis produced soap from the bodies of Jews who they murdered in their concentration camps, long-since thoroughly debunked, are still widely believed"

Did Nazi's make lamp shades out of human skin or vegan plants?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampshades_made_from_human_skin

The results of those tests were reported on in the 2012 National Geographic television program "Human Lampshade: A Holocaust Mystery".[17][16]

In 2019 the Anthropodermic Book Project performed a peptide mass fingerprinting test on an alleged Nazi-era human skin lampshade stored in a small Holocaust museum in the United States; the testing results showed the lampshade was made from plant cellulose.[18]

"Bernard Holstein's Stolen Soul, the authors appear to be genuinely delusional about their childhood experiences and the historical context in which these took place."

"Misha Defonseca eventually confessed that her highly successful testimony in Surviving with Wolves was made up."

"Holocaust historian Gitta Sereny dismissed Gray's book as a forgery in a 1979 "

"
When I myself told Gray, the 'author', that he had manifestly never been to, nor escaped from Treblinka, he finally asked, despairingly, 'But does it matter? Wasn't the only thing that Treblinka did happen, that it should be written about, and that some Jews should be shown to have been heroic?'"

Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood is a 1995 book, whose author used the pseudonym Binjamin Wilkomirski, which purports to be a memoir of the Holocaust. It was debunked by Swiss journalist and writer Daniel Ganzfried [de] in August 1998. The subsequent disclosure of Wilkomirski's fabrications sparked heated debate

Women surrounded by wolves which really raised her after she escaped the real death camps

Rosemarie Pence (formerly Hannah Pence; born c. 1938) is a German-American woman who posed as a child Holocaust survivor from the Dachau Concentration Camp. Pence became the subject of a fake biography titled Hannah: From Dachau to the Olympics and Beyond published in 2005. Her fabrications, which included a fake Jewish background (as Hannah), were discovered in 2009. By 2012 she was wanted in Colorado's Boulder County on an arrest warrant for check fraud

"truly"

"Marco represented an association of survivors of the thousands of Spaniards who had truly been deported to Nazi concentration camps."

"Enric Marco (12 April 1921 – 21 May 2022) was a Catalonian impostor who claimed to have been a prisoner in Nazi German concentration camps"

"He was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Catalan government in 2001 and wrote a book on his experiences. In 2005 he admitted his claims were false"

"Donald Joseph Watt (10 August 1918 – 28 May 2000) was an Australian Army soldier and the author of a literary hoax, a fictitious Holocaust memoir entitled Stoker: The Story of an Australian Soldier who Survived Auschwitz-Birkenau, published in 1995 by Simon & Schuster. Only the disclosure of Watt's fabrications altered the status of the book which was initially praised by various Jewish organizations as the most important work written in Australia"
