What do we Jews call those who downplay or simply ignore holocaust victims? We should call them with the worst names in our vocabularies that we can find.
All I am asking is to have sufficient evidence for that. At the moment, I am lacking it. Are you saying that the JTA knows they have made an error and do not correct it?

JTA has made an error in numbers of Holocaust victims in Jasenovac.
Do they know it?
Well, I wrote JTA (I'm sure I was not the only one) and pointed out the error.
If JTA was announcing a Holocaust exhibit that was created by the Simon Wiesenthal Center that says 600,000+ people was murdered in Jasenovac:

why would JTA think 85,000 people is more accurate number? Don't you think Simon Wiesenthal Center is reliable source of info.??? From 600,000+ victims from a source like Simon Wiesenthal Center to downgrade to 85,000 victims from an unknown source is not sufficient evidence that JTA is in error?
Unfortunately the only way to tackle technical inaccuracies is by writing them back asking for correction. So I did to
feedback@jta.org
In todays computerized world, when reporters are assigned stories, they can easily go into a databank and pull previous stories written years ago. These stories serve as background materials for writing the current article. I'm affraid this technical inaccuracy may become historical fact if it's not corrected.
Oh... and have they corrected it? As far as I know: not yet.
