There is no copyright violation. It is documented from the Shreveport Times. Probably the Chicago site took the material from the Times.Billy Hathorn (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see anything about Rose Van Thyn in the Chicago site, which is about the Holocaust in general.Billy Hathorn (talk) 16:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. Van Thyn was not liberated by Americans[edit]
