The Brooklyn Baron

The Brooklyn Baron was a weekly newspaper focused on "news in around the neighborhoods of Bergen Beach and Coney Island."[1]

They had writers[2][3] and a managing editor.[4]

Overview

In mid 1997 they ran a full page profile of a Holocaust survivor who was shot, helped by a non-Jewish farmer, and after the war went back to where her family home had stood. She described it as "burnt to the ground." In Brooklyn she married and built a family, and years later was told that for some technical reason reparations were denied.[5]

Their "Hush Hush" item about how in 1943 there were 4 things a sailor could not say in a letter home and 12 "a sailor can say" (part of #1 is "You can say you were born, if you don't say where") was reprinted.[6]

The Brooklyn Public Library's microfilm collection, which only has issues from 1997,[1] described it as having "a law section ... and includes editorials by prominent New York politicians."[1]

The Brooklyn Baron also carried cartoons.[7]

History

The paper's name was trademarked late 1996 by B&B Publishing.[8]
