The Jewish population of Kovno is suffering tremendously as a result of big floods which have practically submerged the Lithuanian capital. About 300 houses are already under water, most of them occupied by Jewish families. Efforts are being made to evacuate the inmates and save their property, but the losses, it is feared, will be immense.
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.
