... that 97 percent of the Jews in Bulgarian-occupied Greece were deported and killed in less than a month? Source: Bowman 2009, pp. 81–82, Levene 2018, p. 41.
ALT1:... that one of the highest death rates in the Holocaust was Bulgarian-occupied Greece, where 97 percent of Jews were killed in less than a month? Source: ditto
Article is new enough and long enough. The hooks are compelling and of appropriate length. Information in the DYK was cited in-line in the article, and I was able to verify both citations through my library access. No copyvio or close paraphrasing detected by Earwig. QPQ completed. Recommend using ALT1 as it specifically mentions the Holocaust and provides more context. Maybe say "...was in Bulgarian-occupied Greece", to make clear that the death rate was not Greece itself but rather happened in Greece. Good work,
Buidhe.
