North America’s largest Jewish federation is honoring the chief executive of a media conglomerate that published propaganda for the Nazis. Bertelsmann has contributed to a German fund compensating wartime slave laborers, and its subsidiary, Random House, recently pledged $1 million to a project encouraging Holocaust survivors to publish their memoirs.
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.
