No.13 - 3rd April 1939

Unlike other issues of this newspaper, published on Fridays, this issue was published on a Monday – Erev Pesach (the eve of Passover). You will also notice that, unlike other issues consisting of six pages, this issue consisted of sixteen pages.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate copies of pages 5-12, which we believe may have been a special Pesach “lift-out”, given the date of this issue’s publication. If anyone knows where we can find copies of these missing pages, please email the webmaster, using the link at the top right-hand corner of this website.
