Shmuel Krakowski

  • ... that before becoming a Yad Vashem historian, Shmuel Krakowski worked for Polish communist intelligence and security organizations? Source: https://katalog.bip.ipn.gov.pl/informacje/62859
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
  • Reviewed: Desk murderer
  • Comment: I am trying to balance neutrality with making the hook interesting. Saying that he was a spy for secret police may sound nicer, but could also be more pejorative. Further comments / alt hooks welcome.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.
Overall: In future, please list your article the day that you started/expanded it, rather than the date of nomination. Judging from the article and the source, it's not really accurate to say that he worked for the "secret police". Communist regimes had lots of different security agencies, and not of them were equally evil. Catrìona ( talk) 11:53, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
