History

Jüdische Nachrichten was founded by the Schweizerischer Israelitischer Gemeindebund (SIG), Zürich, as its press office in 1936, with the objectives not only to confront Nazism but also to address growing Anti-semitism in Switzerland. To this end it produced news bulletins in German and French and distributed them to numerous editorial offices throughout Switzerland. Under the leadership of Dr. Benjamin Sagalowitz JUNA amassed a large archive of documentation concerning the Holocaust and the fate of Jewish refugees and other related subjects.
