Biographical History
The author, Bruno Weil, was a scholar, lawyer and politician, who in 1926, was elected Vice-President of the Central Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens. In 1935 he was sent by the CV to the USA to develop links with American Jewish organisations. From there he made a trip to South America, the result of which was this series of articles which were later to be published in the CV newspaper.

Scope and Content
This collection of reports focuses on South America as a haven for German Jewish emigration. According to the editor's introduction they were published by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Inc. with a view to being published in various (unspecified) newspapers. This particular edition was presumably written for the American market, since the reports are in English and are printed by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, which was, by then, based in New York.
The reports cover Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay and discuss the climate, geography, demographics and politics of each country. The first 3 reports (949/1-3) cover Brazil; the fourth (949/4) covers Uruguay; the fifth and sixth (949/5-6) cover Argentina.
