Efforts to organize an American section in the Jewish pavilion of the International Press Exhibition, which will be held in Cologne, Germany, from May 12 to October, 1928 are now being made.
Meer Grossman, a member of the Executive Board of the Jewish Press Exhibition, is now in the United States to enlist the interest of American Jewish editors and publishers in the exhibition.
The Jewish pavilion will include exhibits of the Jewish press in English, Hebrew, Yiddish and the many other languages in which papers are published for the Jewish reading public.
A building to house the Jewish pavilion is now being erected on one of the main roads of the exhibition grounds. The material so far collected, it was stated, provides an impressive picture of the wide-flung religious, cultural and political influence of the Jewish press. The Jewish pavilion will also demonstrate the progress of the Jewish press in the last few decades in all parts of the world. Dr. M. Bodenheimer is the chairman of the Executive Board at Cologne and Prof. M. Sobernheim of the German foreign office is chairman of the Berlin committee sponsoring the Jewish pavilion in the International Press Exhibition.
