I'm looking for newspaper articles about the Panama scandal.

Any ideas where I can find historical articles?

I have to make a literature list but I have only German books so far.

it doesn't need to be a specific period, the task was to make a general literature list about the panama scandal. However the libraries in the city have only 3 or 4 German books.
It would be really nice if I could refer to some newspaper articles..

Yeah, is that the one where Pierce Brosnan uses the tailor and bangs Rene Russo in the lake?

j/k

I seem to recall there being some books on French anitsemitism that would have used direct sources from that period. My guess is some of your best original sources would be in French if we're talking about the same Panama scandal. Consider starting there.

It used to be that old newspapers were always on file at bigger university libraries on microfilm, but I don't know about how they do it now. You could spend days on not find squat. I would look in some of the historical books to see what they used for sources from the time.

there is 3 books in french:

DEUX SCANDALES DE PANAMA (LES) by JEAN-YVES MOLLIER edited by GALLIMARD (Oct 11 1973) ISBN-13: 978-2070288670

LE SCANDALE DE PANAMA by JEAN-YVES MOLLIER , edited by FAYARD EDITIONS (May 2 1991) ISBN-13: 978-2213026749

L' Affaire Panama by Pierre-Alexandre Bourson edited by De Vecchi (Jun 22 2006) SBN-13: 978-2732843704

maybe one of those books has been translated in our language.

thank you very much, French is just as useful! I will check the libraries!

But do you know if it is possible to get some old Le Figaro or Le Monde newspaper articles?

They still do that. I think newer issues are digital now but that would not concern his topic.
Check Uni or Stadtbibliotheken close to you. They should be able to provide you with what you require and can order it for you(usually for free), if it is not present on location.
