I removed the section asserting that Schechtman had published his pamphlets anonymously and that this was discovered and corroborated by Khalidi in 1959 and Medoff in 2001. In the preface of his '52 book, entitled The Arab Refugee Problem he says in his introduction:
One can see that he acknowledged his authorship of these pamphlets very early. It appears the two historians cited did not do their homework.

Actually, it looks like you are both wrong. Khalidi doesn't mention the names of the pamphlets in the article. So we don't know that the anonymous pamphlets were the same as those apparently "confirmed" by Medoff. If the publisher was different as Snakeswithfeet points out, perhaps Medoff and Khalidi are talking about different pamphlets? Does anyone have any information about the titles of the pamphlets described by Khalidi? Miamosa ( talk) 04:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The 1940 US Census shows that Joseph Schectman, his wife Adelaide and her widowed mother, Miriam Cohen, were enumerated on April 2, 1940 as living at 8591 Fleet Street in Queens, New York. That indicates he had actually emigrated prior to that date, and not in the "summer of 1941" as currently noted in the article, although I suppose it's possible that he filed documentation to that effect that summer. I suggest the article might be edited to incorporate the census information.

If there is a reference giving the details of Laqueur's supposedly previously cited work, it is not obvious in the current version. CWO ( talk) 12:08, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
