Many Jews were homeless today and others already evacuated had again lost their homes as a result of last night’s German air raid on London, believed to be the heaviest to date. Thousands of incendiary bombs and many explosives were showered on a wide area.
The premises of The Jewish Chronicle, leading Jewish weekly in Britain, were destroyed in the raid. The Chronicle, which owned its own printing plant, employed nearly a hundred persons. Founded in 1841, it is the oldest Jewish publication in existence.
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.
