The Jewish community of Salzburg has received a number of documents pertaining to the stay of Dr. Theodor Herzl in that city, as a gift from the Salzburg Archives. The Archives requested that the documents remain in the possession of the local Jewish community.
They pertain to his activities while a law clerk in this city in 1885. An entry in Dr. Herzl’s diary referring to this period in his life reads: “I would have liked to stay in this beautiful city, but as a Jew I had no chance to become a judge. Therefore I said adieu to Salzburg and to jurisprudence.”
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.
