We have a problem.

The first google result for Victor Gollancz is http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Jgollancz.htm. It contains both Helga's text "During the late 1930s and early 1940s Victor Gollancz was heavily involved in trying to get Jewish refugees out of Germany. After the war Gollancz worked hard to relieve starvation in Germany. He founded the Jewish Society for Human Service and its first objective was to help Arab relief." and a strongly-worded copyright notice: "The narrative text on this website is copyright. This means that any school which copies the site for local use onto a school cache is in breach of copyright. If your school wishes to copy the site in this way, there is a tariff of charges. Please contact Spartacus Educational spartacus@pavilion.co.uk for details."

Okay, two problems. The second is that I wouldn't count the Spartacists as an unbiased or reliable historical source. I think I'm safe with the paraphrased early biographical info, but I'm going to try to confirm it elsewhere. The part quoted has to go; it's here on the talk page if anyone wants to try to paraphrase it. Vicki Rosenzweig 17:04 Jul 31, 2002 (PDT)

[edit] On the expulsion of Germans

I've tried to translate what was said on the German article on Gollanz. Then discovered that it was to some part based on text from; * Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker (GfbV)

On the page the text comes from the following is said at the bottom: A GESELLSCHAFT FÜR BEDROHTE VÖLKER PUBLICATION * REDISTRIBUTION WELCOME - PLEASE QUOTE SOURCE * WebDesign: Y.BANGERT

I take it that that means it is Ok to use it. Stor stark7 15:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
