A cultural festival celebrating the historical links between Czech, German and Jewish cultures opened in Prague on Tuesday. The nine-day “Nine Gates” Festival, dedicated this year to the 55th birthday of the State of Israel, features musical performances, film screenings, lectures and discussions. Organizers also are holding a commemorative event for victims of the Holocaust in the Prague neighborhood of Holesovice, which served as a transit site to Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
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.
