The Neu England Rundschau (New England Review) was a weekly German language newspaper published by The German-American Publishing Company, Wisly Lithograph Company, and subsequently the Wisly-Brooks Company, Inc. of Holyoke, Massachusetts from 1883 until 1942, the longest running German newspaper in Massachusetts.[3] A second edition of the paper was also sold in Connecticut under the masthead Connecticut Staats-Zeitung (Connecticut State Newspaper).[4] Following scrutiny by the US Department of Justice and Office of Strategic Services of the broader German American press, as well as declining circulation, the paper ceased publication in 1942 during the Second World War.[5][4]
