Jewish Sentinel

The Jewish Sentinel called simply The Sentinel,[1][2][3][4] was a weekly newspaper[5] published each Thursday by The Sentinel Publishing Company of Chicago (Sentinel Pub. Co.) from 1911 to 1996.[6][7]

Founded by Louis Berlin (d.1964) with a friend,[7] Abraham L. Weber.[8] Berlin was the first editor.[7][9] Its first issues was on February 4, 1911.[7] In 1943 he sold[9] it to Jack I. Fishbein (d.1996) who was editor and publisher[5] since.[10][11]

The Sentinel, Voice of Chicago Jewy,[12] reflected the changing Chicago Jewish community. It set it apart from others by publishing in the English language while catering (also) to the immigrant community.[7] It appealed to the wide spectrum of Chicago Jewry.[8] In addition to local issues, it covered national and international Jewish news.[6] "As Allied armies liberated Europe in 1945, it published some of the earliest eyewitness accounts of Nazi concentration camps."[7]

It was one of the longest continuously published Jewish weeklies in the United States.[12] Last issue was December 26, 1996.[7]
