Frankfurt am Main, October 1937-November 1938. German.
The 14 last issues of the journal of the Jewish community of Frankfurt am Main, a monthly of a religious orthodox orientation which was published since 1922 until its publication was forbidden by the Nazis in November 1938.
The issues contain articles reviewing the religious, community and cultural life of the Jews of Frankfurt am Main as well as many advertisements and notices of Jewish businesses in the city. In the last years of its publication, the journal dealt mainly with issues related to the life of the community under the Nazi rule and its issues were mostly dedicated to subjects of immigration and charity.
On the upper part of the title page of each of the issues before us an announcement was printed confirming that the issue had received the approval of the "the department for supervising Jewish spiritual and cultural activity in the Third Reich", which was subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels.
Enclosed with the issues are several notices with information about immigrating from Germany and a call for help for those who remained in it.
