A fact from Theresienstadt Ghetto and the Red Cross appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 December 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
"...Nazi invitations to visit concentration camps" -- perhaps better as "German invitations".
Done
"The prewar Geneva Conventions did not protect civilians, limiting the ICRC's leverage against the German government.[4] However, the ICRC was not limited by the Geneva Conventions..." -- this is a bit confusing since it says that ICRC was both limited and not limited by the convention.
Clarified this.
"...was considered one of the only remaining..." - considered by whom?
It's not clear. Steinacher states that he "was often praised" as such, but he doesn't seem to fully endorse that viewpoint. I added a quote from Favez in a note.
"[ICRC]...discovered that it was possible to send medicines..." and then: "In March 1943, in response to an ICRC inquiry, the DRK stated that it was impossible to send food and medical aid to Theresienstadt", which seems a bit contradictory.
Fixed
"by the Jewish elder" -- does this mean a member of Judenrat?
Yes, added clarification
"secured permission" -- from whom?
Added "from the SS"
"causing an unduly positive impression of Theresienstadt to develop..." -- who developed this impression? the public, Jewish organisations, politicians, etc?
Removed. It's not really clear what Rothkirchen means.
"Rossel claimed" -- perhaps Better "Rossel's report stated..." as "claimed" creates the impression that he was willingly fabricating.
