- Comment: ALT1 is a less controversial version of the main hook. Both are based on Flemming's analysis, pages 190 and 194 are accessible through Google books.

Interesting, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - I wonder why "Introduction" is upper case, but the ref title of ref #1 not in title case? I prefer ALT1, as more to the point. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:51, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- A side comment. INTRODUCTION by Dr. Ignacy Schwarzbart beginning on page XIII in the book is in upper case in line with an old editorial practice. All chapters of this book are in capital letter cases, and have been revised accordingly (see the reference section also). Poeticbent talk 17:34, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
I have pulled this from prep because I am concerned that the hook makes Eleanor Roosevelt sound like a Holocaust denier. I'm planning to log off shortly, so I will probably raise this at WT:DYK tomorrow as I think this is an issue that will probably require wider input. Gatoclass (talk) 18:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- There's no need for Eleanor Roosevelt here. Please consider the simplified hook below. Poeticbent talk 02:27, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- ALT2:... that The Black Book of Polish Jewry published in USA in 1943 during World War II downplayed the true scale The Holocaust?
