Task List

See above, and:

• Select a profile in the Holocaust Profile Maintenance category and add sources or improve the formatting. If you don't have time to fix the profile, please add a more specific maintenance category; we are moving all the profiles out of this general Profile Maintenance category.
• Research little-known locations here, to prepare to create categories for them: Holocaust Era Locations Research
• Completed, 2019: Go through the Unsourced Profiles, Germany, Unsourced Profiles, Netherlands Unsourced Profiles, and Needs GEDCOM Cleanup categories, seeking those with death dates between 1938 and 1945 and try to identify those that belong in the project.

Stickers and Templates

Holocaust stickers are used if the profile is not managed by the project.... only people considered Notable are managed by the project. This is the most basic sticker:

{{Holocaust Sticker}}

This will display (see at right):

... ... ... ’s life was impacted by the Holocaust.

See this page for other options with more detail: Holocaust Stickers

Please add the following template to profiles that should be managed by the project, which should be profiles who are Notable:
