Thanks fren. I'd disagree that the staging isn't taboo though. I am finding it very hard to get links acknowledging it but these you have given are a great start--even if it's only mentioned in passing.
I think it's horrifying to know how many photos are being treated as real without any notice that they are staged.
But there is discussion and acceptance that some were staged.

It's not as taboo as people make it out to be, and acknowledging that some photos were staged doesn't mean the holocaust didn't happen.
