Czech President Vaclav Havel promised former U.S. Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger that Czech archives would remain open to an international commission probing Holocaust-era insurance claims. Eagleburger, who visited Prague last week in his capacity as the commission’s chairman, praised the Czech Republic for establishing a government panel to deal with outstanding Holocaust-era issues. The commission, which was created last year, is investigating allegations that European insurers refused to pay claims filed by the heirs of Holocaust victims.
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.
