Moved to mainspace by Kusma (talk). Self-nominated at 21:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC).
. Excellent, superbly sourced article. Tragic, deeply affecting story. No copyright issues, nommed the day it was moved to mainspace, hook cited, QPQ done. I can access doi:10.1353/lib.2007.0009 and the complete text of the biographical dictionary cited for the Kafka part but am mildly AGFing on the "classmate of Kafka" bit because I don't read German (but I do see Kafka referenced on the page, and Google tells me "zusammen" means "together"). I prefer alt0 and might actually delete the Kafka bit because it blunts the effect of the statement that there was a librarian at Theresienstadt. Your choice. Also, how are Nazi propaganda films not in the public domain??? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:19, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, glad you like it. For Kafka, there's also this class photograph to prove it (Utitz middle of the front row, Kafka second from left in the top row). The propaganda films might belong to (the heirs of) the people who were forced to make them, so under that assumption will be copyrighted until 70 years after their deaths. —Kusma (talk) 21:28, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
