Hans-Jürgen Häßler
[edit]- ... that before becoming a prehistorian, Hans-Jürgen Häßler lived in a refugee camp and worked as a plumber? Source: Ludowici 2012: "Bis zu seinem 16. Lebensjahr lebte die wieder vereinte Familie in einem Flüchtlingslager in Hamburg-Billbrook. Häßler erwarb in Hamburg den Volksschulabschluss und absolvierte eine Ausbildung zum Klempner mit der Gesellenprüfung." (roughly: "Until the age of 16, the reunited family lived in a refugee camp in Hamburg-Billbrook. Häßler earned his elementary school certificate in Hamburg and completed an apprenticeship as a plumber with a journeyman's exam."

5x expanded by Usernameunique (talk). Self-nominated at 23:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC).
Interesting life, solid expansion on one offline source. Any other source perhaps? I'd like to see the Holocaust Museum efforts also in the body of the article, not only - without source - in the lead. How do you feel about an infobox? Is "night school" a term known to all? The sentence beginning "These studies ..." says too much, - consider splitting. The hook says more about the conditions of his youth, and his resilience, than about his achievements, but as you like it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, thanks for the review. Adopted all your suggestions. In full: added another source (and have attempted to ILL the other one in the German Wikipedia article), added the Holocaust Museum to the body (with citation), linked night school (it's a pretty common term), broke the sentence you mentioned in two, and added an infobox. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
with thanks for all that --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:41, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
