The first official fund drive to be conducted in the Jewish community in Germany since the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws by Hitler has been opened here by 28 leading German Jews.
The beneficiary of the drive is the Jewish National Fund and the goal is 1,000,000 marks ($250,000). The drive, launched in honor of the 75th birthday of Israel President Chaim Weizmann, was opened in the Munich synagogue by Bavarian Chief Rabbi Aaron Ohrenstein.
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.
