Two things related to your recent edits to The Reader:

  • Please be aware of the three-revert rule. If you continue in this manner, continuing to re-remove that bit about Borowski after Yllosubmarine restored it, you'll be violating it or coming close. If you do, you'll get blocked. Even if you don't violate it directly, you can still be blocked for edit warring.
  • In any event, she's right. Members of the resistance movements in all the occupied countries, like Borowski and Charlotte Delbo, were routinely sent to concentration camps by the Nazis. So were homosexuals and Roma (if anything, in relative terms their community suffered even greater losses than the Jews). One does not to be Jewish, by any means, to be a Holocaust survivor.

So, basically, cease and desist. Daniel Case (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The majority of Holocaust victims and survivors were Jewish, true, but the Jews were not the only target of organized extermination. See Porajmos.

As for scholarly acceptance, Borowski and Delbo's books are routinely read in Holocaust literature courses along with Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi.

Actually, the reverting probably had as much to do with the fact that Borowski is mentioned by name in the book, which calls for the article to actually have a footnote citing the book text at that point. Daniel Case (talk) 17:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Let me get back to you on that when I can find where I keep my copy. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] From the Department of Let Me Get Back to You On That

Here it is, on p. 205 of the paperback edition:

I went over to the bookshelf. Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, Tadeusz Borowski, Jean Améry — the literature of the victims, next to the autobiography of Rudolf Hess, Hannah Arendt's report on Eichmann in Jerusalem, and scholarly literature on the camps.

He clearly assigns Boroswki to "the literature of the victims". Daniel Case (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sean Young

Thank you for providing a reference for the DGA story about Sean Young.  :) --Merovingian (T, C) 19:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Posen Speech

If you have documents proving the Speech was made at Posen, you should have posted them. I´m citing NMT documents and citing the source. If you have proof the source is wrong, post them, but do not delete something just because you personally dislike it.
