Two volumes about Judaism which had been removed from the U. S. Exhibition in Moscow by Soviet censors have been put back on the shelves of the exhibition, according to information received by the State Department yesterday. However, the volumes on Israel were still held by the Soviet censor.
The two volumes restored to the shelves are “Great Ages and Ideas of the Jewish People,” edited by Leo M. Schwartz; and “History of the Jewish Khazars,” by D. M. Dunlop. The books which had not been returned by the censor, are “Israel And Its Glory,” a pictorial volume edited by Avraham Harman and Yigal Yadin; and “The Politics of Israel,” by Marver H. Bernstein.
The Jewish books returned by the censor for display were among the 70 volumes removed by Soviet officials from the U. S. Exhibition. Thirty-three of them are still banned. The restored books were shielded by plastic from readers.
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.
