Talk:Esther Hautzig

message: I don't understand how she would have helped her uncle discover and publish her uncle's master's thesis in 1937. She would have been seven years old at that time.

message: Main point:
* It would be helpful to merge information from the German and French editions into the English edition.
* The introduction then can be reviewed in light of the new and merged content, together with the following references, to online publications to update the emphasis.
** http://biography.jrank.org/pages/89/Hautzig-Esther-Rudomin-1930-Esther-Rudomin-Sidelights.html

** http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/degrum/public_html/html/research/findaids/DG1165f.html
* The page can then be re-translated to German and French as needed.

message: After reviewing Help:Maintenance_template_removal
* I would like to ask that the single source template be removed.
* COI disclosure: I have a personal relationship to the subject through my mother. My mother was a close friend of the subject. Their mothers were also friends. I am in contact with one of the subject's children.
* I decided to update the article to further honor the subject. Nevertheless, I have sought to be unbiased in my edits and in the implied prominence of the subject.
** To the question of whether the additions give undue prominence to the subject: The subject was held in high regard in the publishing community as indicated here: . This source could be added to the main page if desired.
* To reflect the subject's work as an author, I have added a Works section based on entries in WorldCat (the library reference site).
** Note that in the introduction to the Works section, I used personal knowledge to write the sentence "She maintained deep connections with the expatriate Yiddish literary community." However, that statement is easily verified through Internet sources. I gave a reference to the repository of papers of Chaim Potok which includes a folder of letters from Esther Hautzig. The personal knowledge is that I know that they had a correspondence. I also included a citation to an introduction she wrote for a history of Vilnius. It is also possible to find a New York Times obituary for the librarian at the YIVO (a Yiddish cultural organization) in which Esther Hautzig is cited, indicating her close relationship with that institution. But I didn't include that reference because it is indirect evidence.
** I also used personal knowledge to divide the works into two main categories. This division highlights a distinction that I personally believe would have seemed appropriate to the subject.
* Incidentally, the subject worked part time in a branch of the New York Public Library, a fact mentioned in the New York Times article about the closing of that branch. That citation doesn't seem significant enough to be included on the main page.
