The Russian Jewish Congress is launching a campaign to obtain Jewish communal property confiscated during the Soviet era, according to the umbrella group’s executive vice president, Alexander Osovtsov. The confiscated property includes hundreds of synagogues, theaters and school buildings across Russia.
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.
