Steven H Silver sent along the following photo, stating that these issues of Amazing Stories were on display at the Jews in Space exhibit at the Milwaukee Jewish Museum.
The issues in question are the October 1927 issue with a Frank R. Paul cover illustrating a Ray Cummings story and featuring
Around the Universe by Ray Cummings, Æpyornis Island by H. G. Wells , The Winged Doom by Kenneth Gilbert, Treasures of Tantalus (Part 1 of 2) serial by Garret Smith and The Paradise of the Ice Wilderness by Jul. Regis (and translated by Isens fångar
and the October 1932 issue with a cover by Leo Morey illustrating Space Rocker Murders by Edmond Hamilton and Wrath of the Purple by Howard Fast, The Man Who Fought a Fly by Leslie F. Stone, Upward, poem by Donald Hinson, Infra-Calorescence by R. I. Melhorn, The Swordsman of Sarvon (Part 3 of 3) serial by Charles Cloukey, The First Martian by Eando Binder, and The Great Invasion of 1955 by J. D. Reid.
Amazing Stories was featured in this Jews in space exhibit because the magazine’s founding publisher, Hugo Gernsback, was a Jewish immigrant from Luxembourg.
We really like the concluding paragraph of the display card:
“Amazing Stories published writers who became some of the most influential and best-known science fiction authors of all time.”
Yes. It does.
