The United States Holocoaust Memorial Museum has a symbiotic relationship with Wikipedia also, but in a way that raises no objections. The image below is featured in different versions (restored and unrestored) on both Commons and en:Wikipedia:

Durova, I'm very pleased to see this kind of image being featured, but I'm wondering what kind of licence you used. Several of us have had lots of problems with Holocaust images, forced to claim fair use because of the age and lack of a release, but with fair use sometimes contested too, because we often don't know who the copyright holder is. Sarah ****** There was a long discussion at Commons about Stroop report images. They were taken in Poland by an anonymous photographer and first published in Poland, so the conclusion was that German law is inapplicable, and under Polish law these are public domain.
