As someone who had family who survived the Holocaust, im quite concerned that this was removed:

This is the writer of the article, Dovid Katz
Dovid Katz (Yiddish: הירשע־דוד כ״ץ, also הירשע־דוד קאַץ, Hirshe-Dovid Kats, [ˌhirʃɛ-ˈdɔvid ˈkɑt͡s], born 9 May 1956) is an American-born Vilnius-based scholar, author, and educator specializing in Yiddish language and literature, Lithuanian-Jewish culture, and the Holocaust in Eastern Europe.
When, in May 2008, Lithuanian prosecutors launched investigations of two more elderly Holocaust survivors, Fania Yocheles Brantsovsky and Dr. Rachel Margolis, Katz embarked on a new activist phase of his life. He became a staunch advocate for the accused Holocaust survivors who were under investigation, and played a role in mobilizing the Western diplomatic community in Vilnius to support them.

I feel comfortable linking Wikipedia on this because it is pretty well sourced, but I would encourage people to read the sources.
This guy isn't a "tankie", he isn't even a communist. He's a mainstream jewish Holocaust scholar and activist and it is concerning that his article was removed because you dont like what he has to say.
We'll look into it, thank you for a long explanation.
So the issue I'm having with un-removing them is that when I click on the URL of the comments to re-approve/have them there, I'm getting a server error. I'm unsure if this is with lemmy as a whole, or something on my end.
Gotcha. As someone who is pretty aligned with Allende and the Castros(Mariela Castro in particular has made tremendous progress in leading government support of the cultural revolution around queer rights in Cuba) I disagree with the communities stance on marxist leninists(even though I have my own critiques of them), but I hope we can have the common ground of MLs not being as bad as literal nazis, because people like Dovid Katz point out that that equivocation has been used to prosecute holocaust survivors as soviet collaborators and has been used to trivialize the holocaust.
Yeah, it's not 1 to 1, but people who say "Papa Stalin did nothing wrong" are dipshits. I'd be more willing to work with someone who's ML, and never work with a Fascist.
Yeah I think anyone who uncritically supports stalin is either trying to be edgey or is just uninformed. There is a reason why still existing marxist-leninist parties have the line they do, the cpc for example saying he was 70/30 good/bad
