The Truth was a Jewish weekly newspaper that appeared in Vienna between 1885 and 1938 . Newspaper distribution was banned in the National Socialist German Reich in 1933. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich, the newspaper was banned there and appeared for the last time on March 11, 1938.
The motto of the newspaper was The Seal of God is Truth . The newspaper appeared with various subtitles, which suggests ideological shifts:
- Independent journal for Jewish interests
- German-Austrian weekly for Jewish interests. Publications of the Union of German-Austrian Jews
- Austrian weekly for Jewish interests
- Jewish weekly
The founder and editor-in-chief of the newspaper was Jakob Bauer (1852–1926), who had also been the publisher of the Austro-Hungarian Cantoren newspaper from 1881 , which appeared from 1899 to 1912 as a supplement to the truth . Other editors-in-chief were Alois Kulka , M. Löwy, Ludwig Hirschfeld (1873-1931) and his son Oskar Hirschfeld. The increasing anti-Semitism in Austria and the German Reich in the 1920s prompted Bauer's successor Ludwig Hirschfeld to take a stronger political stance. The newspaper was based on the political goals of the Austrian-Israelite Union of an integration policy and propagated the coexistence of Jews and non-Jews in European countries. It moved away from the political goals of Zionism . The newspaper also served for publications by the Austrian-Israelite Union. Freelance workers for the newspaper included Jakob Ornstein (1859–1939) and Max Grunwald , who wrote a series of portraits of women, and women also wrote for the newspaper in the 1920s. The reporting concentrated on the reports from the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien (IKG), which changed in 1936 when the Zionist faction had achieved a majority in the community and used its own publications.
The newspaper appeared on Fridays and was mostly 16 pages long.
"The truth" is recorded in digitized form in the compact memory of the Frankfurt University Library .
