The 25th anniversary of Dr. Nahum (Sokolow’s death was marked with the publication of a new three-volume edition–some 1,700 pages–of the author’s works.

The editor of the three volumes was Gershon Kessel.
Dr. Nahum Sokolow, who served as president of the Jewish Agency in the early 1930’s, is often called the founder of Hebrew journalism. He was the most prolific Jewish writer of his age, having published over 4,500 articles and books in Hebrew, Yiddish, English German and Polish.
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.
