[edit] Spelling of name: Itzhak Katzenelson [sic]

The spelling here is the official version used by the Ghetto Fighters' House itself, including the English-language key word in GFH's online archives (of which I'm a co-maintainer).

In addition, I've already noted on the discussion page for the article presently titled Yitzhak Katznelson [sic], that the surname is incorrect (it's Katzenelson, in transcription from the Yiddish original). The version I'm suggesting is supported by two established, mainstream encyclopaedias, the Encyclopaedia Judaica and the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust, whose authority on Jewish biographies and Holocaust-era history (respectively) is widely accepted.

There's been no response yet to that discussion, so I'll pursue the rename suggestion by Wikipedia channels as yet unfamiliar to me. Advice appreciated! Deborahjay 06:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
