A mixture of photographs, literary texts, as well as sports, entertainment and puzzle corners. One of its unmistakable goals was to illustrate the extraordinary contributions of Jews to international cultural and intellectual life. Each of the four issues published had a theme devoted to a major Jewish celebrity (Walther Rathenau, Max Liebermann, Moses Mendelssohn, Yehudi Menuhin). Selling a monthly to a core target group of less than two percent of the German population (as well as a probably very small number of indomitable philo-Semites) was a courageous endeavor. Although still bearing an ad for subscriptions on its back cover, the fourth issue was apparently the last.
