News bulletins of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency were banned today by order of the French authorities who furnished the explanation that “their contents do not correspond to the interests of the French people.”
Subscribers to the JTA news service were notified by the censor’s office here and in Marseilles that the postal authorities will no longer deliver the news bulletin to them. The notification was given by the censor after some of the subscribers complained to the post office in Marseilles that they had been receiving empty JTA envelopes.
A census of Jewish children in the municipal and state schools throughout unoccupied France was completed today. In ordering this census, the French authorities indicated that Jewish children, with some few exceptions, may be ousted from the school system in the very near future.
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.
