Latvian Jews were outraged by a recent decision by the nation’s leading prosecutor not to launch a criminal investigation into the re-publication of a book that contains anti-Semitic propaganda and glorifies Nazi ideology. Originally published during World War II, “The Fearful Year” describes crimes committed against Latvians during the 1940-41 Soviet occupation of the Baltic nation.
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.
