Comment: Yes, this is a nomination of The Holocaust. Genuinely shocked this became a GA but i'm not complaining. Congratulations to Buidhe! Any other hook suggestions or image suggestions are welcome! I do want to use the File:Mass Grave at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp - Fritz Klein - IWM BU4260.jpg image, but that might be too gory for the main page.
Overall: Everything is clear and good to go for ALT3. JeBonSer(talk | sign) 04:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC) JeBonSer(talk | sign) 12:12, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Comment: This is actually the second time this topic has beeen awarded GA status; a previous run from that program's earliest days occurred during January 2006–May 2007. Does it affect the outcome of this current DYK discussion, or will it be a factor in the final decision? --Slgrandson (How's myegg-throwing coleslaw?) 04:38, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
