Initial comments:

  • "...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.
    • Done
