All in all, really nicely written and interesting Article and hook! Since DYK review is not just about nomination but the article itself

1. On Wikipedia, we only use simple "apostrophes" instead of “curly quotes” per MOS:APOS.

2. Do not directly link to external links within the article content, for example of the schools mentioned.

3. The Article itself should have more category tags than just the birth/death year

4. The article and hook both could use more wiki links. Not everyone knows what Kristallnacht is or when, so change hook to reflect that it was 3 years prior. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 20:46, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All points addressed. (Anyone can fix these points). Merry Christmas Engmaj. Victuallers (talk) 21:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
