I can well imagine this was the case; for example, there was a famous case of a "fake" Nazi death camp in Warsaw [1]. I don't understand the background, but for whatever reason it turns out this supposed camp was a right-wing nationalist narrative.
But I can also well imagine, and borderline remember, opposite things happening on Wikipedia too (i.e. Polish wartime history being manipulated and defaced).
I think it's fair to say Wikipedia is like catnip to any organised disinformation group. In particular, something as complex as the Holocaust, in general and also in the context of Polish wartime history, is best not left to a random sample of people with internet connection.
