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 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 Jewry, [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] The last issue was December 26, 1996. [7]
