Photo by Auschwitz inmate

... that the French documentary From Where They Stood examines photographs secretly taken by inmates of Nazi concentration camps, including the camp at Auschwitz (pictured), while they were imprisoned there? Source: "Christophe Cognet’s 'From Where They Stood' scrutinizes an astonishing record of the Holocaust: photographs secretly taken by prisoners within Auschwitz-Birkenau and other concentration camps." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/movies/from-where-they-stood-review-auschwitz.html

Interesting documentary on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. Please add (pictured) to the hook. I fixed a typo and believe that the last word "there" can be dropped as redundant. I'd probably say:

ALT0a: ... that the 2021 French documentary From Where They Stood examines photographs secretly taken by inmates of Nazi concentration camps (example pictured)? - Suggestions for the article: The lead doesn't need references as long as facts from the body. I'd say concentration camps in Dachau ..., avoiding that people might expect a link to the town Dachau. I'm used to headers "Reception" and "Awards" but don't mind variation. I added a link to the caption and think "secret" is redundant to the hook, - we want captions short. But feel free to revert if you don't like.

Thanks Gerda. I've tweaked so as to make a specific reference to the photo. Coretheapple (talk) 19:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but next time please make changes to a hook in an alternate below the approval. I fixed the pictured thingy, and removed "notorious" to be able to approve. The image is licensed but doesn't show well in that size. - Off to vacation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
