Totally correct in saying that Jews in the camps had it easier? That is utter nonsense.

Here is the offending quote: "But in the camps where I was kept, it was different. The Jews whose experience I saw - their life was softer than that of others."

Apparently you know more about what Mr. Solzhenitsyn personally observed than he himself does?

Personally, I don't know whether I believe or disbelieve his claim. But it is, after all, an eyewitness testimony - which may or may not be a lie, or a false memory, or something. But the article tries to make it seem like he made the charge that all Jews in all camps had it easier, and from this quote I don't think that's true.

Whether true or not, his comment seems gratuitus to me. It seems to me exactly what I said before- a cheap shot.
