This page includes a newsletter with photos of Frantz and three newspaper articles: Frantz' front page letter addressing Germany's ban of the European Edition of The Chicago Tribune, two articles documenting his personal life and career achievements.
This is a newspaper article written in 1934 by Ralph Jules Frantz, the Managing Editor for the European Edition of The Chicago Tribune, to Joseph Goebbels, Germany's Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Minister, in response to Goebbels' decision to ban the newspaper in Germany.
