“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:  Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 50, “Jew Trades Link With World Revolution.”

The predominantly Russian Jews in New York City engaged in the garment trades were Bolshevik in character and aim. Russian Bolshevism literally came out of the east side of New York – Leon “Trotsky” Braunstein(right) was sent to Russia to overthrow the government there, when it was an ally of the United States.  Many strange things were happening at this time:

• Most of the Garment Trades labor leaders were Russian Jews who emigrated to the U.S. around the age of 20, with a radical background;
• These men wanted to bring about a complete change of the social system, and the government;
• All these union men formed part of the New York Kehillah, which did not want Jews to become Americanized, but to change America to their own liking;
• Thus to practice “Americanism” was considered antisemitism – such as saying that Bolshevism in the United States was Jewish;
• A study showed that of 2000 presidents of Jewish organizations in NYC, 1054 were Russian-born, 536 born in Austro-Hungary, the rest in Roumania and Germany–90% foreign-born;
• Immigration inspectors at Ellis Island were also Jewish, and passports issued by the State Dept. went through the office of Jew Soviet Ambassador Charles Recht and his attorney ally Issac Hourwich.
