Hildegard Binder Johnson
- ... that geographer Hildegard Binder Johnson fled Third Reich Germany after the Nazi party destroyed her scientific paper criticizing the development of European colonies in Africa? Source: "In being critical of German colonial policy she raised the ire of Nazis who thereupon condemned and destroyed the work; only her map showing the distribution of Europeans in Africa-the first on this topic survived by being published, with the assistance of secret subsidies from someone, in Koloniale Rundschau. She fled Germany in 1934 as a consequence of the action against her work and especially because of what happened to her many Jewish friends: “I left because I didn‘t want to be where Hitler was.”" (Hildegard Binder Johnson, 1908–1993 - Annals of the Association of American Geographers)

- Comment: Moved to mainspace from draftspace in this edit.
Created by Silver seren (talk) and Thriley (talk). Nominated by Silver seren (talk) at 02:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC).
Article is new enough (moved out of draft space on May 15), long enough, written neutrally, and properly cited. Clears Earwig; no plagiarism is evident. For the hook, the P in Nazi party might be capitalized. The hook is formatted correctly, short enough, neutral, and its fact is sourced in the article. The article's image has a valid fair use rationale. QPQ has been done. @Silver seren: Excellent work. A small query: was it really called the Bromley Publish High School for Girls? gobonobo + c 02:51, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
