The Central Council of Jews in Germany withdrew this week-end its charges of slander against the newspaper “8-Uhr Blatt” for publishing a fraudulent Jewish ritual murder story.
The Central Council’s action followed disclosure that the newspaper had discharged the editor and the writer of the article and, further, had made a voluntary contribution of 3, 000 marks (approximately $750) to the Bavarian Red Cross in restitution for publication of the article.
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.
