New Yorker Volkszeitung

New Yorker Volkszeitung

New Yorker Volkzeitung was a German language labor daily newspaper which suspended publishing during the Great Depression, in October 1932. At the time it was the only German language daily in the United States and one of the oldest radical left newspapers in the nation. Its publisher was the Socialist Cooperative Publishing Association which had offices at 47 Walker Street in New York City.

Newspaper history

The New Yorker Volkszeitung began as a daily in 1878. It was later reorganized by Dr. Siegfried Lipschitz, an American correspondent of the Sozialistischer Pressedienst of Berlin, Germany. He succeeded Ludwig Lore as the newspaper's editor. Afterwards the publication was endorsed by the Socialist Party of the United States and the Socialist Party of Germany.

The financial crisis of the 1930s prevented members of the Socialist Cooperative Publishing Association from meeting regularly, which made it necessary to shut down printing. Its thirty employees were not released.[1] Two months after the closure of New Yorker Volkszeitung, a new publication (Neue Volkszeitung) was launched as its successor).[2]
