• ... that the book The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945 has been praised for finding new middle ground and challenging views of the Polish resistance that are either too negative or too positive? Source: https://doi.org/10.1080%2F23739770.2016.1141351 and several others
  • ALT1:... that the book The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945 has been praised for bridging widely different views of the Polish resistance found in Jewish and Polish historiographies? Source: same as for main hook

• Reviewed: Muhammad IV of Granada
• Comment: Hmmm, I think the hooks can use Polish for language. Ping User:Nihil novi/User:Buidhe, maybe you could suggest a more elegant hook? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that Joshua D. Zimmerman's book, The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945, has been praised for its even-handed treatment of contending accounts of World War II relations between Poland's Jewish population and the Polish Underground?

• Striking this hook because "widely" is not verifiable unless we have a secondary source on the reception of the book. Second, I think ALT1 is more interesting. buidhe 07:48, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• PS: I think a better hook might be more explicit about what the "widely different views" are, namely killing Jews vs. rescuing Jews. buidhe 05:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
