Article is new and long enough. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs. Hook is cited, short enough, and tentatively interesting enough, but I think it needs additional context for what "official recognition" she was specifically denied. Morgan695 (talk) 02:53, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing. I have composed two alternatives which are hopefully more clear.

ALT1: ... that Hedwig Porschütz, who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, was not recognised for resisting Nazism because she had been a prostitute?
ALT2: ... that Hedwig Porschütz, who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, was not honoured as an "unsung heroine" in West Berlin because she had been a prostitute?

ALT2 references the specific title she was denied, so I think it's the better of the two. The italicization of the quote is unnecessary, so I've removed it. Morgan695 (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Works for me, thanks. BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:49, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
