# Talk:Fredy Hirsch

Famously, Zuzana Růžičková claimed that Hirsch saved her life. JezGrove (talk) 22:35, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks — I've incorporated that detail into his article. Catrìona (talk) 23:22, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Fredy_Hirsch#Auschwitz says "These efforts were part of an effort to mislead the Red Cross about the Final Solution in advance of the June 1944 Red Cross visit to Theresienstadt; the Germans were also considering a Red Cross visit to the family camp at Birkenau." but Theresienstadt_family_camp#Background seems to indicate that this isn't necessarily true. I don't have access to the book that was cited for that in question, so I thought it'd be worth trying to find more sources to reconcile this inconsistency. – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 23:59, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

@FenixFeather: I wrote both articles, and I'm not sure that they're inconsistent, just less detail being presented here than in the other article. But since it's a complex and debateable topic (there being a distinct lack of hard evidence to support any of the distinguished historians' speculations) and not really related to Hirsch's life, I've just removed the sentence in this article.

Oh, that's too bad. I really enjoyed reading the articles, though. Great writing! – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 06:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

In the legacy section, the word "tzadik" is translated as righteous or decent. It does not translate to decent, just righteous. I suggest that should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkelber (talk • contribs) 19:53, 11 February 2021 (UTC) 

The stolperstein for Fredy Hirsch is located at Martin-Luther-Straße 7 in Aachen and not at Richardstraße 7 as stated in the article. The stone was erroneously laid on Richardstraße first. The picture is up-to-date with the correct coordinates. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stolperstein_Fredy_Hirsch;_50.77398_6.09503;_Martin-Luther-Stra%C3%9Fe_7;_February_2024_in_Aachen;_2024_photographs_of_Aachen.jpg and as source i have also this: https://www.stolpersteine-homosexuelle.de/fredy-hirsch . This source is old (and also wrong): http://www.wgdv.de/stolpersteine/personenverzeichnis/90-hirsch,-alfred-fredy Qwertzu111111 (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Qwertzu111111 Thanks for your photograph. It looks like a new stone was created at some point before 2021 with a different wording (File:Stolperstein_Ferdy_Hirsch,_Aachen_(neu).JPG) and installed at the Richardstraße location.  Per the stolpersteine-homosexuelle.de website, which refers to "Stolperstein für Fredy Hirsch, neu verlegt im Jahr 2023, Aachen," at the Martin-Luther-Straße location but also has an older photograph labeled "Stolperstein (alt) Fredy Hirsch, Aachen, Richardstraße 7", it was moved to the present location in 2023. I've updated the article accordingly. (t · c) buidhe 09:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
buidhe Thanks so much for your quick and kind response and help. Yes, it is a little bit tricky. The first stone (with old wording) was located in Richardstraße 7. Then a new stone was made (because the wording was wrong!) and located at the same old (and wrong) place. In 2023 the stone moved to the new place (Martin-Luther-Straße 7) where it is still today. The confusion came because the street was re-named in 1933.....and nobody knew in 2008 where the house of his parents was.  Qwertzu111111 (talk) 09:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
