Since I am not a category expert, please forgive me for asking a silly question: How do former Jewish communities that disappeared by the Holocaust at the latest fit into a county category from the 1980s? Shouldn't the category(ies) rather be called Former Jewish Communities in County xy (i.e. Sinsheim, Heidelberg, ...)? --Badener (discussion)
