Parizer Haynt (Yiddish: פּאַריזער היינט) was a Yiddish-language newspaper published in Paris, France. The newspaper was established in 1923 and became a daily publication in 1926.[1] It was the first daily Yiddish newspaper in Western Europe.[2] Its founders and first editors were Shmuel Yatzkan and Noah Finkelstein, who had previously edited the Warsaw Yiddish newspaper Haynt.[3] It was later edited by the journalist Vladimir Grossman (1884–1976).[4] The paper was supportive of Zionism, in contrast to its primary rival, the Communist daily Naye Prese.[5] Isaac Bashevis Singer contributed articles to the paper during the 1930s.[6] Other authors who wrote for the paper include Aryeh Leib Grajewski,[7] Aaron Alperin,[8] and Nisn Frank.[9] The newspaper's headquarters were at 34 rue Richer, in the 3rd arrondissement.[10] It ceased publication in 1940.[11]
