From the Paper:

"Karl Marx was born into a middle-class Jewish family in Trier, Germany on May 5, 1818. He studied Law at the University of Bonn and at the University of Berlin. He entered the field of journalism in 1842, becoming the editor of an influential liberal newspaper, "Rheinische Zeitung" in Cologne shortly afterwards. His bold criticism of the social and Economic conditions in Prussia brought him into further trouble with the government and the paper was banned. He left Germany and started to live in Paris where he adopted his Communist beliefs."
