To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Jewish-born German author and poet Heinrich Heine, West Germany will issue a special postage stamp, with Heine’s portrait. The main celebration is to be held, on February 17 in Heine’s native city of Duesseldorf. At the house where he was born, a memorial tablet will be unvaried to replace one that was removed during the Nazi era.
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.
