no evidence that Geisel was Israeli

I have corrected / deleted the entries listing Geisel as an Israeli journalist and writer. According to all known evidence he was German and wrote in German. He became known in Germany as a historian of German Jewish history, for example of the famous "Scheunenviertel" in Berlin, and as an editor and translator of the work of German-American Jewish philosopher and politologist Hannah Arendt. Any contributions which shed some light on Geisel's background and his biography before the early 1980s (which is totally unknown and nowhere documented) will be appreciated and is more than welcome. --PrussianZionist (talk) 08:05, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nota bene

For Geisel reconciliation and understanding efforts towards the former victims of the Holocaust were simply impossible.^[1]

'former victims' implies that Jews who survived the Holocaust were no longer victims, and the rest of the sentence suggests that Geisel thought attempts to reach an understanding and reconciliation with Holocaust survivors were impossible. To make it intelligible, a subject is required to qualify 'attempts'. If 'German attempts' is what is meant, then that should be explicitly stated.Nishidani (talk) 21:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
