Will review shortly. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 14:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC) That's it for a first pass, I'll try and revisit later today. Very nice article, comments are rather nit-picky (sorry about not going ahead and putting the links in, I just want to make sure they are what you want to link to). Feel free to discuss/ ask for clarification/reject my suggestions anywhere. Eddie891 Talk Work 12:53, 7 June 2020 (UTC) , other ticks follow: Source check: I checked all of the English sources and am highly satisfied on the whole with the quality of sourcing. My only complaint is that the Journal of Contemporary European Studies doesn't specifically say that the Prague Jewish Community tried to " play different anti-Jewish agencies off against each other", more that it " exploit[ed] weakness" and says that individuals fled rather than 'emigrated'. Minor, minor things... Best wishes, Eddie891 Talk Work 14:12, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Die Judenverfolgung im Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren. Lokale Initiativen, zentrale Entscheidungen, jüdische Antworten 1939–1945 should use lang
 * Done
 * So was the book originally written in German? If so, then perhaps the title should be in the lede? Was the English translation also written by Gruner?
 * Mentioned the name of the translator. Yes, it was originally published in German, but I don't think it helps the reader to put the German title in the lead because the title is so long it will just crowd out more comprehensible information to an English speaker.
 * "where he founded the Center for Advanced Genocide Research" What is the significance of the center? perhaps add why it matters that he founded it because, for all the reader knows it could be a small organisation that's got no signifigance.
 * Done
 * maybe link ghettoization because I don't think it's necessarily a common term
 * Done
 * Are there any other links you could put in the 'Contents' section for 'lay-readers'?
 * Added some
 * What is  Judaica Bohemiae? A journal (presumably)? the target article doesn't mention it at all
 * Added section in the target article.
 * "considers it a Standardwerk [de]." maybe provide an English translation in parenthesis
 * Done
 * "Writing in Journal of Contemporary European Studies, Stuart" why just the last name?
 * Stuart Parkes is his full name.
 * Red link of Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort?
 * Link Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels?
 * link Fritz Thyssen Foundation?
 * link German Foreign Office?
 * link German Studies Association?
 * link Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research?
 * Linked all
 * "and won one of the prizes for most outstanding German studies in humanities and social sciences in 2017 by the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels, the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, the VG WORT and the German Foreign Office" this sentence doesn't really make sense to me. Did it win comparable prizes from all those organizations? Did the organizations award a joint prize? What does 'prizes for most outstanding' really mean (that's rather vague)?
 * I believe it was a joint award—clarified.
 * " René Küpper " who? It would be helpful to provide a qualifier (i.e. historian) or list the journal it was published in so the reader knows why they care about what this person thinks
 * Done
 * Thanks for your review! buidhe 13:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Earwigs suggests no copyvio
 * what makes migrantknowledge.org a reliable source?
 * It's a scholarly organization apparently affiliated with the German Historical Institute
 * ref #5 is wanting of a publisher/website param
 * Done
 * Edited slightly. In this context, "fled" is a synonym of emigration because they are clearly fleeing the area of Nazi control which requires emigration. buidhe 14:26, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , This article is now well written, cited, reasonably comprehensive, neutral, free from copyvio, and otherwise meets the GA criteria. I am happy to pass! Congrats and nice work. If you have the time and willingness, could I interest you in a source review of Fabian Ware, my current FAC? Eddie891 Talk Work 15:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
