Winschoten railway station

 * ... that during WWII approximately 500 Jews were transported from the Winschoten railway station via the Westerbork transit camp to Nazi concentration camps, where most of them were killed?


 * Reviewed: Lord James Blears
 * Comment: In the Netherlands the Remembrance of the Dead is on 4 May, so inclusion on that day would fit the hook.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is a newly promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have an inline citation to a source which I can understand, despite my lack of knowledge of Dutch. The article is neutral, but I formed no view on copyright issues because the sources are "Double Dutch" and incomprehensible to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
