As promised during the first nomination, I'll take another look at the article. Kaiser matias (talk) 17:04, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for being slow to review this, just a busy time for me. I have some comments below:

• "It was formed on the advice of SS officer..." I feel SS should be expanded to "Schutzstaffel (SS)", for those who are unaware of the abbreviation.
  • I think SS is more recognizable than Schutzstaffel, so I put the latter in parenthesis "SS (Schutzstaffel)"
• "About two-thirds of Jews in Slovakia were Orthodox..." Should link the relevant article for Orthodox.
  • Done
• "The first Judenrat outside the Reich and German-occupied Poland, ÚŽ was the only secular Jewish organization allowed to exist". Was the UZ the only secular Jewish organization allowed to exist in Slovakia, or all of the Nazi-occupied territories? Would be good to clarify that.
  • Clarified "in Slovakia"
• "By August, the ÚŽ was providing welfare to 23,877 Jews with 1,500 welfare applications to be considered; this consisted of about 3 Slovak koruna (Ks) daily per adult and 2 Ks per child." I gather 3 Ks per day is not a lot, but is there any way to give context to the value? Even just noting it was low, or (better yet) comparing to the wage of contemporary workers or something.
  • Added note
• "...61 Jewish schools instructed 7941 children." In most other examples with four digit numbers, an apostrophe is used ("1,300 Jews"; "5,500 Jews") I'd keep it consistent throughout, and ideally use an apostrophe here, and anywhere else.
  • Done
• Regarding the "Non-Israelites" heading, is that the correct term for Jewish converts to Christianity? Honestly not sure on that.
  • This is the term that Kamenec uses. I imagine it is a literal translation of a Slovak term but I haven't seen the original Slovak version of his book so can't say for sure.
• "On 29 August, Germany invaded Slovakia..." Include the year here, as it's the first mention of 1944.
  • Done
• Is there any idea if any UZ Jews survived the Holocaust? Kind of ends on a cliffhanger, so if there is any information that would be good to include.
  • Added some information on this.

Once the above are addressed, will take a quick look, but should be good to go then. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:15, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks again for your comments.

Great, looks good to pass then. Kaiser matias (talk) 17:59, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
