This entire article, reporting up to 1.5 million murdered at Majdanek and claiming its victims came from "22 nationalities", mentions the word "Jews" only once, and then along with "Poles and Russians".
In fact, virtually all of Operation Reinhart's victims were Jews.
Numbers killed at Majdanek are controversial, with each new estimate lower than previous.
In 1948 deaths were estimated at 360,000 then 238,00 in 1999 and as of 2005 the accepted number is 78,000.
So clearly, what's going on in this particular report is Soviet propaganda, attempting to maximize numbers killed and minimize the fact that virtually all were Jews.
As good communist apparatchiks, of course the New York Times reported just what they were told.
