The German newspapers here published a long article today praising the heroism of John Tunes, 25-year-old Jew, who risked his life to effect a spectacular rescue of a drowning man.
This is the second time within a month that Jews in Germany have been cited for heroism. On June 5 two Jewish war veterans, on Hitler’s personal order, were awarded medals for saving the life of a high-ranking Nazi official.
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.
