Memoriale della Shoah

(

• ... that Platform 21, now part of the Memoriale della Shoah, was a secret track at Milano Centrale railway station used for the deportation of Jews, and only rediscovered in 1995?

• Comment: The option also exists to hold this until 6 December, the 75th anniversary of the first train from Milan to Auschwitz, and use the below, rather sombre, hook, as long as people don't feel putting it on the main page like this trivialises the events.

• • ALT1:... that today, 75 years ago, the first train of 169 Jewish deportees left Platform 21 of Milano Centrale railway station for Auschwitz, where all but five of them were murdered?

Overall: I was about to create this page and suggest ALT2 (below). However, I really like ALT1 or its variation, ALT3, below—some might take exception to the fact that some deportees might have been removed from Auschwitz and died in other concentration camps. I recommend that the hook is held until 6 December. You have a very minor close paraphrasing issue according to Earwig.

• ALT2: ... that the Holocaust memorial at Milano Centrale railway station is used as a shelter for North African refugees?
• ALT3:... that 75 years ago today the first train of 169 Jews left Platform 21 of Milano Centrale railway station for Auschwitz; all but five were murdered?

for ALT2 and ALT3. Catrìona (talk) 21:10, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

• I have rephrased that sentence, the Earwig score has now come down to 2.9%. In regards to Auschwitz you do have a point there. The translation of the source states The first convoy of Jewish deportees to Auschwitz-Birkenau departs from an underground railway of the Milan Central Station. It includes 169 people, of which 5 will survive, which doesn't quite support that they were actually killed there. I think your Alt 3 addresses that issue of uncertainty.

• - Length, Date, Cites (one via machine translation), QPQ, and Earwigs check. ALT2 and ALT3 approved. Recommend ALT3 is held for December 6. Mifter (talk) 06:36, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
