Antisemitic Claims About Jews and the Russian Revolution

It is thus not surprising that

as the twentieth century dawns, we

find Jews turning their attentions

to the overthrow of one of the last

monarchies still opposing

Jewish advancement,

the Romanov dynasty

of Russia.

It is well known that the

Jews had longed hoped to

overthrow the tsar.

It was natural then, that

Jewish philosophers such as Moses

Hess and

Karl Marx should

contrive a philosophy that

could make such

overthrow possible.

It was also natural that

international Jewish bankers of New

York,

London, and Hamburg should finance it.

The US State Department,

in its three-volume

report on the origins

of

communism in Russia, published in 1931,

reveals how

Jewish-controlled German banks, under

the leadership of Max Warburg,

conspired as early as

1914 to send large payments

to Lenin, Trotsky, and others

in their attempts to bring down

the tsar.

As part of this conspiracy, Jacob

Schiff, head of the New York Jewish

banking house

of Kuhn Loeb, invested at least twenty million,

which would be close to one

billion dollars today,

toward the establishment of

Bolshevism in Russia.

In its article on socialism, the

Jewish Encyclopedia, published in

1905, freely admits that Jews in Russia were

ripe for revolution. "In

Russia, it, socialism,

has become a

movement of the Jewish masses."

The later Encyclopedia Judaica

tells us the communist movement

and ideology played an

important part in Jewish life,

particularly in the

1920s and 1930s, and during

and after World War II.

The Judaica, in fact,

presents an extensive list of the most

powerful

Jewish leaders of Bolshevism, which included Trotsky,

Sverdlov,

Zinoviev,

Kamenev,

Litvinov, Kaganovich, and many others.

The Judaica also tells us

just how many Jews filled the

communist ranks.

It says antisemitism drove

the bulk of Russian Jewish youth

into the ranks of the Bolshevik regime.

When the White Russian patriots

heroically attempted to regain their

freedom from the Jews,

the Judaica says compact Jewish

masses were utilized by the

Bolsheviks to suppress such

counterrevolution.

Clearly, Jews and native Russians

were engaged in a death struggle over the

destiny of Russia.

Unfortunately, the Jewish masses won.
