The “Częstochower Cajtung” (“Częstochowa Gazette”), published from 1922 to 1939, was a Yiddish-language, political and social weekly, with a Zionist-Orthodox character.
Owned and printed by Bernard Bocian, it was initially edited by Izrael Płocker and then by Szmul Frank. Its editorial office was located at Aleja NMP 6.
It seems to have been the most enduring periodical of Jewish Częstochowa. This was probably due to its moderate political line.
It had a sound financial position which was drawn from both advertising and subscriptions. It was printed in its own (Bocian’s) printing house.
Its circulation ranged from 900 to 1,400 copies and continued to be published weekly until September 1939.
In translating the issues of this newspaper, every effort has been made to translate, as accurately as possible, the Yiddish text and to transliterate (and double-check) the names of people and places as they would have been spelt in a historically, accurate manner (surnames may have been changed post-War). This includes the use of Polish diacritics where appropriate.
(Such care and research may not have been carried out in translations of this newpaper appearing elsewhere.)
