  • ... that in "What! Still Alive?!", historian Monika Rice presents a "disturbing narrative of violence, hostility, and indifference" towards Holocaust survivors in Poland?

  • Article is new enough (created 23 July) and long enough (2,000 characters of prose).
  • Article is written in NPOV and contains sufficient inline citations. Earwig returns no copyvio concerns; only close matches are appropriately presented as quotations and cited in the article text.
  • Hook is of adequate length (166 characters), and it is properly formatted and cited; AGF on offline source.
  • QPQ is done.
  •   My only concern is that the summary of the hook is one person's assessment of the text, yet the phrasing makes it sound like a fact. Maybe reword the hook to something like:

ALT1 is fine by me, although other reviewers don't exactly disagree with the assessment. Thanks for the review! (t · c) buidhe 21:46, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I don't doubt that Cichopek-Gajraj's words represent consensus among critics, it's just that even a broad consensus is still technically subjective.
  Anyway, if you're happy with ALT1, then ALT1 is good to go! Congrats on an interesting article. Armadillopteryxtalk 21:59, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
