> We are upgrading the record for Rose, Gerhard, ‡d 1896-1992 (LCCN no2002101636) to RDA. We want to include a 370 for his place of birth which was Danzig (Germany). The record for Danzig (Germany) has a 667 which states SUBJECT USAGE: This heading is not valid for use as a subject. Works about this place are entered under Gdańsk (Poland). What do we use in the 370, Danzig (Germany) or Gdansk (Poland)? Is place of birth treated like a subject?
