Details:

Schenectady Herald-Journal (Schenectady, New York), November 29, 1963. German-language American newspaper featuring the headline “Praesident Kennedy wurde zur letzten Ruhe gebettet” (“President Kennedy Laid to Rest”), reporting on the state funeral and burial of President John F. Kennedy. The front page is illustrated with a large photograph of Kennedy lying in repose, accompanied by additional images of the late President and Marguerite Oswald with her granddaughter, alongside coverage of Lee Harvey Oswald’s death and the continuing aftermath of the assassination.

Published by one of America’s oldest German-language newspapers, this issue offers a unique perspective on the national mourning that followed Kennedy’s assassination. Issued four days after the funeral, it chronicles the solemn ceremonies honoring the fallen President while also reporting on the rapidly unfolding developments surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. German-language American newspapers documenting the Kennedy assassination are considerably scarcer than their English-language counterparts and provide an important record of how immigrant communities across the United States experienced this historic tragedy.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
