Latvia is now ruled by a nationalist dictatorship, which seized power about one month ago. One of the first steps the government took was to arrest a number of Jewish Socialist and working class leaders and to suppress all Yiddish papers in Latvia except the organ of the orthodox Jews. A number of Jewish communal institutions were closed at the same time.
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.
