... that knowing only a surname and a continent, author Hanoch Teller tracked down a boy photographed at the liberation of Auschwitz 70 years earlier for the award-winning cover of Heroic Children? Source: "Rabbi Teller got permission from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to use for his cover a photo of several children the day they were liberated from Auschwitz in January 1945. ... All he knew about the boy, 70 years later, was that he lived in Europe, and his last name was Hirsch." (Atlanta Jewish Times); "Cover Design: Nonfiction: Heroic Children: Untold Stories of the Unconquerable by Hanoch Teller (New York City Publishing Company)" (IBPA-Online)

DYK check all good, new, long and cited. Hook is fine. The hook section is a bit wordy though, and I'm not sure it would be surprising that the person didn't give their permission... consider re-arranging? Maury Markowitz (talk)

@Maury Markowitz: thanks for the review. I cut a few words from a sentence, but I'm not sure that any more needs to be cut. I'm surprised you think his permission would be automatic; Holocaust survivors have been very secretive about their experiences and some never tell their children what happened to them. There are groups called "second-generation survivors" who display similar behaviors and thought patterns due to the fact that their parent suffered from PTSD all their lives from their Holocaust experience but never shared anything. I know people like that. Yoninah (talk) 17:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the exact opposite: as anyone whose tried to put an image in a wiki article knows, explicit permission for photo use is as rare as hen's teeth. It normally goes without mentioning. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: I'm sorry, I'm a little lost in this discussion. Are we talking about the same thing? I've only given two sentences in the article to the permission issue. Why is it such an issue? Yoninah (talk) 19:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Its not "such an issue", it's a minor point about wording. I'm sorry I brought it up. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:58, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
