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 Gdanėsk (Poland). What do we use in the 370, Danzig (Germany)
or Gdansk (Poland)? Is place of birth treated like a subject?
Thanks,
Barbara
