Secret Jewish origin[edit]

Dorothy Frooks was my great grandfather's estranged niece, and she was Jewish, but the fact was cleverly hidden by her family. I've put together her true genealogy from old photos and documents that I inherited, evidence that would have ruined her career. The challenge of her life was to be a prominent liberal political activist with strong ties to Russian Jews in the age of antisemitism and “red baiting”. I uncovered a good deal of intrigue to the coverup, her older brother falsified her mother's death certificate to change her name and make her from Argentina rather than Ukraine. Another intrigue is that her father's gravestone went missing, presumably spirited away by her brothers and buried somewhere near their house in Saugerties. A story worthy of a documentary. I'm considering rewriting the article to include this new information. But I'm not going to waste my time if some Wikibot will delete it. Can a moderator give me some assurance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnarlodious (talk • contribs) 14:55, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
