The Secret Relationship
Between Blacks and Jews (TSR) presents a multitude of compelling facts describing
first hand accounts of a pernicious and extensive involvement
of Jews in the African slave trade.
Jewish historians and scholars are extensively quoted in this
easy to read and fascinating 334 page volume. Not since the release
of W.E.B. DuBois' The Suppression of the African Slave Trade
in 1896 has a more riveting discussion of the topic of slavery
been offered for public inspection.
"The facts, as established by highly respected scholars of
the Jewish community, are here exposed and linked by as sparse
a narrative as is journalistically permitted for review by those
interested in the subject," the authors, the Historical
Research Department of the Nation of Islam, stated.
Every fact was painstakingly footnoted. The research was matchless
and worthy of commendation. Attempts to assuage this work as allegedly
"anti-Semitic" or "anti-Jewish" falls on its
face given the fact that the work contains the contributions of
"respected scholars of the Jewish community."
The power of this presentation is so strong that the facts cannot
be refuted. Yet this work does not pretend to be the end-all on
this subject of slavery. It provides a window to even more extensive
research regarding slavery by its other co-conspirators, the white
Christians of Europe, the Arabs of the Middle East, and the Black
African leaders who sold their own people to the slave traders.
In light of the recent allegations of "Black anti-Semitism,"
this book calls attention to the evil and immoral practice by
the Jews in the Black holocaust of which many scholars estimate
that 250 million or more perished at the hands of white people
during the trade in Black slaves.
The means and methods of suppression and subversion come to light
in subchapters like the "Jews and the Great Nat Turner,"
(TSR, p. 211) "Black Slave Owners and Jews,"
(TSR, p. 212) and "Jewish Clergy and Black Slavery,"
(TSR, pp. 143-147) are but a few of the authoritative gems
contained in this most important work of the final decade of the
Twentieth Century.
Former Vice President Judah P. Benjamin of the old Confederacy
is among the multitude of Jewish slave owners extensively documented
in The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews.
Census data highlights the keen factual detail the Nation's researchers
fastidiously presented. For example, Rabbi
Bertram W. Korn's eminently respected work on the subject,
Jews and Negro Slavery, figures prominently.
Likewise, on page 195, respected Jewish writer Louis
M. Epstein the author of Sex Laws and Customs of Judaism
(1967) is quoted on the subject of the Jews and rape of Black
Women: "The female slave was a sex tool beneath the level
of moral considerations. She was an economic good, useful, in
addition to her menial labor, for breeding more slaves."
Distinguished Jewish scholarship figures prominently throughout
the book, properly footnoted employing the popularly-accepted
University of Chicago Manual of Style format for non-fiction
research presentations.
The writers, in their Editor's Note, render a humble warning,
"Those who would use this material as a basis for the violation
of the human rights of another are abusing the knowledge herein.
The wise will benefit to see this as an opportunity to develop
more equitable relationships between the families of man."
