IPA (Idische PLotke Agentur) and IWA (Iden Willen Azoi) existed only
as ironical names for so called News that were given from mouth to ear
during the war for either normal bad events that happened or still had
to come, IPA, or wishful thinking for hope and defeat of the Germans
and their allies IWA. I and not Y because there is no Y in Y(idish).
And of course everybody knew that the "news" had to be taken with a
big grain of salt!!
Sorry, but all this was only about rumors during the war mainly in the
Jewish population - no written news. And of course no real Agency,
Jewish or not)
Except that in a certain way everybody, everywhere is still exposed to
XPA and XWA -X taking values for the name of any people in the World.
