Jüdische Rundschau (Jewish Review) was a Jewish periodical that was published in Germany between 1902 and 1938. It was the biggest Jewish weekly publication in Germany, and was the organ of the Zionist Federation of Germany. History The Jüdische Rundschau was published in Berlin from 1902 until it was banned in 1938. As the organ of the Zionist Federation of Germany it represented German Zionism to the outside world. Significant debates about the function and task of Jewish politics in the sense of the Basel program that were held at the first Zionist congress in 1897 were presented on their pages. In addition, from 1933 onwards it reported on the difficult living conditions for Jews in Germany and provided readers willing to emigrate with detailed information on emigration options. Along with the CV Zeitung and the Israelitisches Familienblatt, it was one of the defining Jewish periodicals in Germany. The magazine emerged from the Berliner Vereinsbote (1895–1901) and the Israelitische Rundschau (1901–1902). It was published by Heinrich Loewe. The editors-in-chief throughout the history of the magazine included Julius Becker, Felix Abraham, Hugo Hermann, Leo Hermann, Fritz Löwenstein, Hans Klötzel, Robert Weltsch and Hans Bloch. The Jüdische Rundschau was initially published weekly from 1902, and mostly twice a week from 1919. After the Reichspogromnacht in 1938, the magazine had to stop its publication. The successor was the Jüdische Welt-Rundschau, which was printed in Paris and from there distributed to 60 countries, until the German Wehrmacht marched in in 1940. It was designed in Jerusalem by numerous emigrated members of the editorial team of the former Jüdische Rundschau and published by Siegmund Kaznelson. The co-editor Robert Weltsch was one of the most influential and important journalists of the Jüdische Rundschau. His cousin Felix Weltsch, a close friend of Franz Kafka, published the Czechoslovak central organ of the Zionists, the German language Self-Defense (1907–1938), in Prague from 1919. After mass deportations, massive expansion of concentration camps and manifold forms of discrimination, the last edition of the Jüdische Rundschau appeared on 8 November 1938, one day before Kristallnacht.
