Eleven thousand Jewish families in the Ukraine will be engaged during the coming five years on tobacco plantations and poultry and vegetable farms, according to the plan of the Comzet, Government Department for Jewish Land Settlement.
Nine million roubles will be assigned for this purpose. Fifteen thousand hectares in the neighborhood of the small towns will be allotted, thus enabling declassed Jews to enter productive work without leaving their old homes.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
