 * Ah, good point. I was actually going to include him somewhere but then it slipped through. I plan on adding a list of all the known people to the article and he'll be there, but it'll take me couple of days since the weekend is busy.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Possible additions
Is it worth mentioning The Island on Bird Street and/or Uri Orlev? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that if we could find a source which says that the Robinsons were the inspiration for the book, or directly connects the author/book to this (rather than just a loose association/similarity) then it could definitely be included.
 * I also have this vague notion that there was a Marvel Comics character that was loosely based on the Ares of this article but I can't find anything about it and maybe I'm confusing things.Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:01, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * It turns out that Orlev can't technically be one of the Crusoes of Warsaw, because although he was in the Warsaw Ghetto, he was in Bergen-Belsen by 1943. However, the book (and the film based on it) mention Robinson Crusoe repeatedly, and I think quote from it. Plenty of sources say so, and some of them also say the book is set in the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. I've not been able to find anything that specifically says the book was inspired by the events of 1944, although given its widespread acclaim, I'm surprised that none of the more recent sources on the subject mention it. (Variety (magazine) has a piece on the film, but it doesn't say anything very useful about the background.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 07:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'll add this info in. Volunteer Marek (talk) 00:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
