Editor’s note: This page has been removed from our website because it did not meet our editorial standards. Published on May 23, 2023, in honor of National Inventors Month, it was a graphic-novel style piece combining drawings and descriptions of things invented by Jews.

We discovered after publication that the handwritten descriptions were rife with factual errors and did not properly credit other published sources, including Wikipedia; an engineering and technology website called IEEE.org; the Wyld Networks blog; and the website of Auburn University.

Following journalistic best practices, the Forward has a policy not to remove pages from our website. But we made an exception in this case because the nature of the piece and the volume of the problematic material made it impossible to properly correct the record with integrity. We regret having published it.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.

—  Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO

With your support, we’ll be ready for whatever 2025 brings.
