  • ... that Anka Nathanová (pictured) gave birth to Eva Clarke at the Mauthausen concentration camp shortly before its liberation in 1945? Source: "On April 29, 1945, after three years in the Theresienstadt ghetto, six months of slave labor in an armaments factory in Freiburg, Germany, and a 17-day train journey in an open coal car, Anka Nathanová arrived at the gates of Mauthausen concentration camp. She gave birth to her daughter, Eva Clarke, on a cart there." [1]
    • ALT1:... that Anka Nathanová (pictured) denied being pregnant with Eva Clarke when asked by the Nazi SS physician Josef Mengele? Source: " On her arrival at the camp in German-occupied Poland, Josef Mengele, the SS doc-tor who carried out sadistic experiments on prisoners and took part in "selections" for the gas chambers, asked her "Are you pregnant, pretty lady?". She denied it and was selected to work, avoiding immediate gassing." [2]

  • Length is fine, hooks are fine for length and intriguing. QPQ done. One change to text suggested. No evidence of paraphrasing and lots of refs. I have found and loaded an extra pic which may be of use for her parents. Victuallers (talk) 12:47, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Victuallers, Made the change in the text. Good catch. I'm curious about the new picture! Thanks, TJMSmith (talk) 13:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Recommended for April 7/8 (see above) Refs for hooks are OK but the second is AGF (as its mostly behind a paywall). The new photo is here and I guess it could be used in her mother's article, but its up to you. Good work. Victuallers (talk) 16:28, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
