[edit] Grynszpan

I don't think you read my edit very carefully. I haven't suggested that he survived the war. Eichmann saw Grynszpan in 1943 or 1944 so his date of death must have been between 1944 and the end of the war (ie, 1944-45).

This is an extract from Eichmann's testimony at his trial:

    Grynszpan [I was told]...in...was late in the War
    ...in...during the War - it must have been in 43 - or
    44 - I was hardly - in 43 Grynszpan was...this is it: I
    received some...some...in the line of my duty I
    received an order that Grynszpan was in custody in
    Prinz Albrechtstrasse 8, and he had to be further
    examined concerning who was likely to have been behind
    the scenes. Accordingly I gave instructions to bring
    Grynszpan no, not this way - accordingly Krischak gave
    orders - Krischak was dealing with the matter - to
    bring Grynszpan and...either way it would have been
    useless, I said to myself. I still remember exactly,
    for I was curious to see what Grynszpan looked like.
    For this reason I can still remember this very well,
    and I still said: Will they - more or less thus - if
    they had not found this out during all those years,
    then this will also...this examination will also be
    pointless, this would be useless, but an order was an
    order. Grynszpan - er - Krischak questioned him and
    took notes. Nothing, obviously, emerged from the whole
    thing and I merely said then to Krischak that if he had
    completed the interrogation, I wanted him to bring him
    to me upstairs, for I very much wanted - for once - to
    look at the man Grynszpan. I wanted to talk to him. And
    I did then, exchange a few words with Grynszpan. He was
    very brief (abweisend) and brusque, was indifferent and
    gave short replies to all the questions. I wanted to
    ask him, since I had no knowledge at all of the whole 
    matter, where he had been and things of that kind. On
    the whole he looked well, he was small - he was a
    smallish lad - I have absolutely - I don't know if I am
    wrong but this I remember - such a...he was such a
    little man - this is still preserved in my memory; and
    then he was again returned to custody in Prinz
    Albrechtstrasse 8. What happened then I don't know.

I will add this to the article. Adam 23:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

So far as I know there is no precise information on when, where or how HG died. It's pretty clear that he was dead by the end of the war. If he had survived we would have heard something about it by now. We know that he was in Gestapo custody when Eichmann saw him in 43 or 44. Probably they killed him when it was obvious that there was no further use for him. This is different to Baeck, who was a priviliged detainee at Theresienstadt (he also saw Eichmann, in March 45 when Eichmann vistited. He said, "I see you are still alive, Dr Baeck." To which Baeck replied, "Indeed I am, Herr Eichmann, and I will outlive you," which wasn't quite an accurate prediction, but not far off.) Adam 00:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:James alison.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:James alison.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 20:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
