Response to "1000 Quotes by and about Jews"



These quotes come from the Hate site http://abbc.com/quotes and the document called "1000 Quotes by and about Jews". It is widely available on the Internet in various forms, but the version at this hate site appears to be definitive and therefore the quote numbers will be referenced to it. The same quotes on other sites may have different reference numbers.
Many "quotes" under discussion are either outright forgeries or out of context or reconstructed to give a meaning that the original author never intended. The remaining quotes come from anti-Semitic sources such as Henry Ford I. There is little point in trying to refute quotes from genuine anti-Semitic sources, but in as much as the other alleged quotes libel the good name of those people who were meant to have made them, and, of course, the target group, these will be exposed for what they are.
In due course, all of the quotes will be dealt with, but it is a very time consuming process.

"Whenever an American or a Filipino fell at Bataan or Corregidor or at any other of the now historic spots where MacArthur's men put up their remarkable fight, their survivors could have said with truth: 'The real reason that boy went to his death, was because Hitler's anti-semitic movement succeeded in Germany.'"

QUOTE
"That German Jewry could raise the Star of David -- Emblazoned Zionist Flag..." (Nuremburg Laws of 1935)
RESPONSE
This is quote #21 form the anti-Semitic document "1000 Quotes by and About Jews" available at http://abbc.com/quotes/q001-050.htm and other sources.
It does not actually appear in the Nuremburg laws but appears to be a comment upon them. What is actually stated in these infamous laws, "Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor", September 15, 1935, is:
SECTION 4
1. Jews are forbidden to hoist the Reich and national flag and to present the colors of the Reich.
2. On the other hand they are permitted to present the Jewish colors. The exercise of this authority is protected by the State.
(For a copy of the laws see http://www.mtsu.edu/~baustin/nurmlaw3.html )
It is hardly an honour that Jews were allowd to raise "the Jewish colors" (whatever is meant by that) since Jews were not allowed to raise the German flag. These laws removed German citizenship from Jews. Until then Jews had considered themselves solid, patriotic, German citizens. Shortly after this, Jews lost their right to live.

EXECUTING-CHRIST QUOTE "One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle. If I had charge of executing Christ, I would have handled it differently. You see what I would have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed to the lions. They never could have made a savior out of mince meat."
In March 1964, Elizabeth Shepherd issued a leaflet called, "Who Are the Haters?," which contained writer Ben Hecht's executing-Christians quote. The quote was picked up by anti-Semitic groups around the country and even used by some ultra-conservative groups which were not anti-Semitic. But there is irony in the use-or, rather, misuse-of this particular quote. The passage appears in Hecht's novel, A Jew in Love (1931), but it is uttered by an anti-Communist named Boshere. And Boshere, after making his remark about feeding Christians to the lions, adds; "I would do the same thing to radicals today."

(NOTE: SEE BELOW FOR A VARIANT QUOTE)
RESPONSE (1)
The above quote is #165 from the anti-Semitic document http://abbc.com/quotes/q151-200.htm "1000 Quotes by and about Jews". It is available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the same number.
Like many such "quotes", this one is not properly referenced so it is difficult to trace its source. However, in this case it is only necessary to point out that the author of this Jewish-attributed "quote" is not actually Jewish. Gus Hall was of Finnish descent. His birth name was Arvo Mike Halberg. (I have another report that his middle name was "Justa".)
He says that he "was baptized in the most conservative religious denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church". (Source: "After 50 years: Truth triumphs over the lies of anti-communism" November 29, 1997, "People's Weekly World".
An extremely ironical fact in relation to this claim is as follows:
"The CPUSA Secretary for Relations with Foreign Communist Parties was a FBI agent, reporting regularly to the US government all the secret things Hall & Co were doing. He was named Morris Childs (ne Chilovsky) and _was_ Jewish." Source: Quoted from Usenet message Message-ID: <37ef61aa@news.iglou.com>, Author: Joseph Major (jtmajor@iglou.com), Date: 27 Sep 1999 08:23:06 -0500
Apparently a lot of Finns became involved in American socialism as the following quote attests:
"Finnish immigrants were the first in the nation to found a foreign-language group of the American Socialist Party. Finntown in Virginia had a three-story brick building known as the Socialist Opera. By one estimate, a third of the Finns on the Iron Range in 1913 were socialists. In the 1930s, 40 percent of the total membership of the American communist party nationwide came from one small immigrant group - the Finns. Gus Hall, the longtime head of the American Communist party, came from a Finnish farmstead on the Iron Range." Source: "Finland Was a Poor Country: Part 2 By Mary Losure and Dan Olson June 10, 1997 (Minnesota Public radio) http://news.mpr.org/features/199706/10_losurem_finnpoor/finnpoor2.htm
Apart from the fact that Gus Hall does not appear to be Jewish, the quote itself seems spurious. Why would an American Communist, in a country with many strongly- religious Christians make such a statement if he were trying to get support for his cause?
Gus Hall has also stated "Right-wing forces also spread the lie that Communists are anti-religion. In all my years I have never heard anyone in our party make an anti-religion remark or speech." (Source: November 29, 1997, People's Weekly World). It is difficult to reconcile this remark with the one that is attributed to him.
In addition, the last line bears an uncanny resemblance to a paraphased quote, the original of which is attributed to Jean Meslier c. 1664-1733 and appears in French in Testament (ed. R. Charles, 1864) vol. 1, ch. 2. Meslier's quote starts out (English translation): I remember, on this matter, the wish made once by an ignorant, uneducated man…He said…. The man's wish, expressed next, is often presented in paraphased form as "Je voudrais…que le dernier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du dernier prêtre", "I should like…the last of the kings to be strangled with the guts of the last priest".

RESPONSE 2 (A variant of the above quotation.)
STRANGLED-TO-DEATH QUOTE "I dream of the hour when the last Congressman is strangled to death on the guts of the last preacher-and since Christians like to sing about the blood, why not give them a little of it? Slit the throats of their children and drag them over the mourners' bench and the pulpit, and allow them to drown in their own blood, and then see whether they enjoy singing these hymns."
When Gus Hall, General Secretary of the American Communist Party, was invited to speak at the University of Oregon in 1962, there was an outburst of protest in Eugene, where the university is located, and an outpouring of anti-Hall posters and leaflets featuring the strangled-to-death statement which Hall was charged with having made at a Communist convention in 1937 and again at the funeral of Communist leader Eugene Dennis in 1961. But the New York Times, which covered the Dennis funeral, mentioned no such bloodcurdling statement in Hall's eulogy, and Hall himself, when queried about it by reporters in Eugene, said the statement was so vile he wouldn't bother denying it. The attribution of the inflammatory words to Hall first appeared in reactionary Kenneth Goff's Pilgrim Torch in April 1961, but actually they can be traced back to Jean Meslier (a Catholic who turned anti-Christian), whose will, published by Voltaire in 1733, stated: "I should like to see . . . the last king strangled with the guts of the last priest." In 1980, evangelist Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority used the phony Gus Hall quotation in a multi-media presentation entitled, "America, You're Too Young to Die."

The above quote is #185 from the anti-Semitic document http://abbc.com/quotes/q151-200.htm "1000 Quotes by and about Jews". It is available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the same number.
"There were two publications with this name. The first one, a daily in Cleveland, Ohio, was established in 1908 and suspended in 1952. The second Jewish World was published daily in Philadelphia from 1913 until 1941, when it became a weekly. It finally suspended in 1945.
. . .
Common Sense of January 15,1962, quotes the Jewish World of March 15, 1923, as saying:
Fundamentally, Judaism is Anti-Christian.
Lyrl Van Hyning uses the same quotation in her collection of anti-Semitic lies and forgeries, Key to the Mystery, page 13. Victor Marsden, translator of that masterpiece of forgery, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, uses the same quotation on page 7 of the March, 1958 edition of World Conquest Through World Government, under which name the notorious Protocols were published in London by the Britons Publishing Society.
In checking out this obviously phoney quotation, we carried on considerable correspondence until we finally determined that a file of the Philadelphia Jewish World was in the archives of the New York Public Library and that a file of the Cleveland Jewish World was in the archives of the Midwest Inter-Library Center in Chicago. In reply to our inquiry regarding "Fundamentally, Judaism is Anti-Christian" we received a negative report from the New York Public Library, one of the world's finest research libraries (see page 127).
On June 21, 1962, we visited the Midwest Inter-Library Center in Chicago, a most unique research institution, whose facilities are available only to faculty members of the thirteen supporting universities and to research scholars. To our surprise we found that they had files of both the Cleveland and the Philadelphia Jewish World. A most painstaking search failed to reveal any trace of the quotations allegedly appearing in the January 16, 1919 issue and in the March 15, 1923 issue.
One week later we again checked the Philadelphia Jewish World in the archives of the New York Public Library, and personally verified the report we had received from Mr. Berger. In the four days that we spent in the New York Public Library, we explored every possibility of finding any evidence of authenticity of these quotations. But both phoney quotations are still receiving widespread circulation-internationally-while occasionally there are weak and insipid refutations on a very limited and inadequate scale."

"No gassing took place in any camp on Germany soil." (Nazi-Hunter Simon Wisenthal, in his Books and Bookmen, p. 5)
RESPONSE
This is quote #214 from the anti-Semitic document http://abbc.com/quotes/q201-250.htm "1000 Quotes by and about Jews". It is available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the same number.
Note that this not the actual quote which is reproduced below. Note also that it says that no extermination camps on German soil, not that there were no concentration camps. Extermination camps were in Poland and were specifically designed to murder large numbers of people whilst in concentration camps people were employed as slave labour and died of incidental means such as being worked to death, starvation and disease, as well as random murders. It also doesn't mean that there were no murders in Germany. It simply means that there were no dedicated, specialised murder centers.
Below is the original letter to the editor from Simon Wiesenthal to "Books and Bookmen," April 1975, Vol. 20, No.7, p.5 from which the above quote is meant to have come.
"In reply to Colin Wilson's letter (b&b Feb on The Myth of the Six Million), it is no myth, it is rather sad that thirty years after the fall of the Third Reich there are still doubts as to the enormity of Nazi-Crimes.
Hundreds of trials have taken place against persons who helped to clean Europe and the world of human vermin. No SS-man accused of these deeds in court has yet denied the existence of Gas-Chambers and their usage. His usual defence was--he had to obey orders.
The Commandant of Treblinka, Franz Stangl, admitted at his trial in 1968 in Dusseldorf, that they had gassed eighteen thousand people a day. The accusation was that he was responsible for the death of four hundred thousand people. But during the proceedings a German Scientist proved that the real figure was nearer nine hundred thousand. I'm quoting this case in particular because all the facts are today completely documented. Anybody who has doubts is welcome to look into it. The other two extermination camps were Sobibor and Belzec. In these camps they killed two million Jews.
The Commandant of Auschwitz, Hoess, declared in court, that between three to four million people were exterminated in his camp. We know today that in all eleven million people, not all Jews, of the civilian population were murdered by the Nazis in occupied countries, mainly in Eastern Europe. Scientific researchers and historians in various countries reached the firm conclusion, based on German documents, that the figure of exterminated Jews was between five million eight hundred thousand and six million two hundred thousand. They agree to a round figure of six million.
Eichmann in his trial spoke of five million and yet he was only responsible for part of the extermination of the Jews. The dead of the 'Einsatzgruppen' in the East and the dead of Gas-Lorries were not part of Eichmann's programme.
Because there were no extermination camps on German soil the Neo-Nazis are using this as proof that these crimes did not happen and furthermore exhibit witnesses from German Labour-Camps who have never seen mass-extermination.
For political reasons the Neo-Nazis try to diminish the blame of Germans towards Jews. This has been taken very lightly by Historians and by Jews alike, which is wrong. The circulation of the Neo-Nazi-istic writings with their malicious and ridiculous arguments connot be prevented. They find sometimes an echo in some countries. Goebbels always recommended--repeat a lie often enough and people will come to believe it.
They also declared that the Diary of Anna Frank was an invention until one day I succeeded in finding the policeman in Holland who had Anna Frank arrested. Today the Neo-Nazis have no more to say about the subject of Anna Frank.
We would be glad if the Myth of the six million was a myth. Unfortunately it is not, it is a tragic reality.
Simon Wiesenthal
Vienna
The following is the reply from the Wiesenthal Center:
From http://www.wiesenthal.com/resource/revision.htm
12. Didn't Simon Wiesenthal himself state that there were no extermination camps in Germany?
The Nazis classified their many hundreds of concentration camps on their basis of their primary function. In a very real sense, all were death camps because the death of the inmates, whether through overwork, starvation/disease, or outright murder, was ultimately expected.
Those sites, however, which functioned as extermination centers (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Majdanek, Sobibor, Belzec, and Chelmno), were specially equipped for the gassing of hundreds of thousands of victims each (millions altogether). All of these camps were located in Poland, and for good reason. Poland had far more Jews than Germany and the rest of Western Europe combined. The Nazis also felt that the relative remoteness of Poland's rural areas would also minimize reports of mass murder taking place there.

David S. Maddison (maddison@connexus.net.au)
Professor Levene's response is as follows:
The exact reference is Cicero, "Pro Flacco" 66-69. But this passage does not appear there in this form: the quoter has without acknowledgement strung together a set of sentences each taken from a different part of Cicero's argument. This significantly distorts what Cicero is saying. Thus the person who "scorns" the Jews is not Cicero (as the quote implies), but the defendant Flaccus. And in the final sentence, the person who is seeking to "stir up hatreds" is not the Jews, but the Roman prosecuting counsel (it isn't "they" in the original Latin).
The passage (or at least the first two sentences of it) is of course still anti-Semitic; but I should perhaps explain a little about the background in order that one can see how Cicero came to say this. Flaccus was the Roman governor of Asia Minor, and was accused by the local Greek inhabitants of extortion (he was almost certainly guilty). The case came to trial in 59 B.C.E: Cicero was not only the leading barrister of the day, but also Flaccus' political ally, and so defended him.
Much of the speech is spent by Cicero in a virulent xenophobic attack on Asian Greeks in order to impugn their reliability as witnesses. He then very briefly refers to a subsidiary accusation against Flaccus by Jews, which the prosecutor had alluded to in passing to support his case; and accordingly Cicero there switches his attack to Jews: but that is a minor side-issue in the case, and he drops the subject after barely a page.
The point is that it was normal in trials in Roman lawcourts for provincial corruption for the defence to appeal to the Roman jury's xenophobia by indulging in racial attacks on the provincials. Thus as well as attacking Greeks and (briefly) Jews in this speech, Cicero spent a good deal of his earlier speech "Pro Fonteio" attacking Gauls (who were there the chief accusers), and in his later speech "Pro Scauro" he spent his time attacking Sardinians.
In short, while certainly anti-Semitic in part, this passage tells us nothing about Cicero's real views about Jews (or Greeks, Gauls or Sardinians). It simply tells us the methods that, as an experienced barrister, he thought would be effective in achieving an acquittal for his client.

It is true that it was published in that newspaper, on that date. Yet, it was not a statement of truth. It was witness testimony in defense of Ernst Zundel, given by self-declared "anti-Zionist" Joseph Burg.

Now, how do I know this? Very simple.
The Toronto Star doesn't have it's 1988 issues online. But they do have an e-mail address for the paper's Ombudsman. I wrote to him requesting information on the quote, including the context it appears in. I am posting his statement regarding your quote below.
' I have worked at The Star since 1984. No person named Joseph Burg has ever worked for the paper. On March 31, 1988, The Star reported on Joseph Burg's testimony at the trial of Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel. He was testifying in Zundel's defence, and made the comment you attributed to him. Burg was 80 at the time. In his testimony, he described himself as an "anti-Zionist." '

This is a famous forgery. It was read into the Congessional Record by Mississippi Congessman T.G. Abernathy in June 1957 allegedly taken from a book called "A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century" (you can't even get the title right) which was supposedly published by Englishman Israel Cohen in 1912. In August 1958 New York Congressman A.J. Multer questioned the quotation's authenticity. He pointed out that there was NO communist party in Britain in 1912 and that the expression "Communist Party" did not come into use until AFTER WWI and that no such book was ever written or could be found in the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books or the Library of Congress. Also, there was no record of a person called Israel Cohen who was a communist that lived in Britain.
Multer read into the Congressional Record an articled called "Story of a Phony Quotation - A Futile Effort to Pin it Down..." and an article about it appeared in the Washington Star, Feb 18, 1958. The Star traced the phony quote to, guess who?...Eustace Mullins, Jr! who claimed to have copied it from a Zionist publication in the Library of Congress in 1952. However, Multer noted that "He was discharged years ago from his probationary job as a photographic aid in the Library of Congress because of his authorship and circulation of violently anti-Semitic articles.

Kominsky gives VERY extensive treatment to this forgery and I highly recommend his book.
"They Never Said It" is excellent too.

Thanks; it did sound a lot more like something written by a racist in the 1957 than something written by a Jewish author in 1912.
"The systematic attempts that are now being made to identify the Jews of Russia with the Bolshevists, to represent Bolshevism as a Jewish movement, and thus to hold up the entire Jewish people to obloquy and attack, are based solely upon the fact that a certain number of prominent Bolshevist Commissaries are of Jewish birth. Upon this fact, which has never been denied, have been built up all sorts of fanatastic accusations, such as that the Jews wish to wreak revenge upon Russia for the persecutions under Tsardom, and that they aim at sweeping away Christian civilization so as to enthrone Judaism as the dominant faith throughout the world. How utterly absurd these calumnies are, and how grotesquely exaggerated are most of the stories of Jewish participation in Bolshevism can be proved by an unimpassioned examination of the ascertainable facts and figures."
I was going to ask "who wrote that," but I guess that given the thread, this would be pretty obvious, so I'll just say it: Israel Cohen did, in the _Jewish Chronicle_ of London, on December 12, 1919, in an article titled THE "JEW-BOLSHEVIST" LIE. Chris "Flip" Carpenter can sure pick them. By the way, the rest of the article is an extremely lucid and convincing debunking of, well, Chris Carpenter, or at least people who sound a lot like him. Antisemitism has obviously not changed very much in 80 years; you really couldn't tell that the article was written that long ago, and most of the "facts and figures" are still perfectly valid.

Anti-Semites have been fond of quoting this statement, which they say, Stephen Wise prominent New York rabbi and Zionist leader, once made. Actually, Rabbi Wise was a life-long foe of Communism; and an official at Manhattan's Hebrew Union College, where Wise's papers are kept, reported that no such statement appears anywhere in Wise's writings. Even George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi leader, was forced to admit it was a fake (1). (

Professor Levene's response is as follows:
The quote has been utterly mangled, and in context doesn't mean anything like what the quoters here are suggesting. They don't help one find it, of course, by the miscitation: the Emperor's name was Claudius, and it is misleading to cite it as "Epistolas", as if it came from some published collection of Claudius' letters (no such collection exists). It comes from an official communication of Claudius to the people of Alexandria that was discovered on papyrus in the 1920s. It should either be cited by its first publication (P. Lond. 1912), or else from one of the standard documentary collections: e.g. Corpus Papyrorum Judaicarum II (Harvard, 1960) no. 153, or E.M. Smallwood, "Documents Illustrating the Principates of Gaius, Claudius and Nero" (Cambridge, 1967), no. 370.
The letter (in Greek) dates from November 41 C.E. There had recently been major violence and rioting in Alexandria between the Greek and the Jewish inhabitants, and Claudius wrote this letter aimed at both communities. The letter is very long, and I shan't quote it all, but the essence is that he refuses to lay the blame for the violence on either side, but insists that both are responsible for keeping the peace in future. He orders the Greeks to respect the Jewish religion in future, and to stop their attacks on it: he insists that the Jews have the right to practise their religion peacefully. He then orders the Jews to stop agitating for extra civic rights in Alexandria, and to stop bringing more people into the city from Syria and Egypt, but to be content with what they already have. He then says:
"*If they do not*, I shall in all respects punish them *like* [kathaper] fomenters of some sort of general plague of the whole inhabited world." [Emphasis mine].
In other words, Claudius is not saying that the Alexandrian Jews *were* fomenting such a "plague", but is threatening them that *if* they do not cease from these actions that he regards as provocative, he will punish them *as if* they were fomenting a plague (he has likewise earlier in the letter threatened the Greeks with punishment if they do not give up *their* provocative actions). Quite a different matter, as you see.

[..] First of all, this is not a quote at all, but at the most an extremely tendentious paraphrase, and the second sentence is a complete invention. Second, this particular issue - actually, it is a color supplement to the magazine - is devoted to the topic of "non-Jewish opinions about Jews." To that end, it consists of articles by various non-Jewish guest commentators; e.g. it has an article by Georges Clemenceau. The opinions in the quote above are contained (but not in such extreme form, or in those words) in an article by one Tsvetan Tonjoroff, of whom I have never heard (and, more tellingly, neither have any biographical references that I've been able to search). So I really can't say why he was invited to submit an article.
There is not the slightest indication that his opinion is shared by the staff of _American Hebrew_, any Jews, or what have you. In fact, this issue - and many of the previous ones - contain articles that debunk the usual antisemitic lie that Bolshevism is Jewish, discuss the serious situation of Jews in early Soviet Russia, quote from respected sources (e.g. General Kolchak, if I recall), and so on.

"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands."

The above is quote #476 and #544 (shorter version) from the anti-Semitic document http://abbc.com/quotes/q451-500.htm and http://abbc.com/quotes/q501-550.htm "1000 Quotes by and about Jews". It is available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the same number.
"Professional anti-Semites are continually discovering secret Jewish "conspiracies" with which to inflame the passions of their ignorant followers. Simple-minded people avidly accept simple-minded explanation that all of the world's troubles caused by the Jews. There is a regular business of producing forged Jewish documents, and it is very plain to any serious student that hate peddlers have scoured the earth in search of "documents" which are then placed in files, for use at appropriate times. Thus we find that a reactionary magazine, Revue De Paris, in its issue of June 1, 1928, carried a long and Prime article in French, whose translated title is "The Secret Origins of Bolshevism: Henry Heine and Karl Marx." It is a vicious, anti-Semitic article, which tells of a Jewish "conspiracy" to conquer the world and then ties this imaginary conspiracy to Communism. As part of its "proof," it quotes from an alleged letter from one, Baruch Levy, to Karl Marx, the co-founder of the modern Communist movement. Nowhere in the article is there any inkling of who Baruch Levy could possibly be, excepting that he is referred to as a Neo-Messianist (whatever that is supposed to denote). The Baruch Levy "letter" outlines a Jewish plan to take over the world. Nowhere in the writings of Karl Marx is there any mention of Baruch Levy and/or his alleged letter. In fact, one can be reasonably certain Marx would have consigned it to the incinerator, if such a letter had reached him. Revue De Paris does not state where it obtained the alleged letter. The obvious reason -that it is a fraud- can easily be deduced from the internal evidence. Its leitmotif is almost identical with the central theme of the Rabbi Rabinovich fabrication (which we have already discussed) and the fraudulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion (which we will soon examine). In other words, any sane person, who has a knowledge of history, can readily recognize the Baruch Levy letter as a palpable fraud.
Thirty-seven years later, Hal Hunt quoted the Baruch Levy letter on the front page of his hate sheet, National Chronicle of March 11, 1965, along with the Kol Nidre hoax and other fraudulent items. How did the editor of a small-circulation sheet obtain an article from a Parisian magazine and how did he obtain an English translation of this essay? The answers are obvious to anyone who does research into the propaganda techniques of the hate publications: it is a stock item, which travels from -one hate publication to another, because the members of this fraternity read and dote on each other's fulminations. The Baruch Levy hoax has appeared periodically, and will probably continue to be used until there is no longer a market for this kind of merchandise.
We asked Dr. Herbert Aptheker, Director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies, to do some additional research about the alleged letter from Baruch Levy to Karl Marx. In a letter, dated September 5, 1967, Dr. Aptheker stated:
I have examined five of the biographies of Marx . . . including those by Mehring, Ruhle, Postgate, Eastman, Lewis . . . and find no mention of anything in any way resembling the material you quote from Baruch Levy. In all my reading in Marxism ... considerable for about 33 years . . . I have never seen anything remotely like that. Let me add that I have examined the indexes of all 6 volumes . . . Volumes 27 through 32 . . . of the Marx-Engels Werke (Dietz Verlag, Berlin, 1963-1965) and find no mention of a Baruch Levy or any indication of any letter in any way similar to that you mention. These are the volumes which contain the letters . . . Briefe . . . of Marx and Engels, commencing in 1842 and going through 1870 (all so far published). I think one may therefore say great confidence that the letter is a hoax, as one would believe in any case from its contents."
