The British Ministry of Economic Warfare today announced that it will permit the delivery of a large quantity of Passover food to an Italian port, for trans-shipment to the Jewish communities in Switzerland.
The food, consisting mostly of Kosher meat, is being carried on a Swiss steamer from Havana. The Jewish communities in Switzerland have always depended on Kosher meat from abroad, since ritual slaughter is prohibited there.
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.
