The Talmud Unmasked: The Secret Rabbinical Teachings Concerning Christians
Birmingham: [National States Rights Party], 1964. Reprint. A 1960s reprint of the first English edition of Christianus in Talmude Iudaeorum (1892), an anti-Semitic pamphlet authored by the defrocked Lithuanian priest, Justinanus Bonaventura Pranaitis (1861-1917). After an introduction and overview of the Talmud, Pranaitis divides the book into two sections: 1.) The Teachings of the Talmud Concerning Christians, in which Christ and Christians are discussed with scorn and contempt and 2.) Precepts of the Talmud Concerning Christians, in which Christians are to be avoided and exterminated. In 1913, Pranaitis was brought as an expert witness in the infamous Beilis trial, in which a Jew, Menahem Mendel Beilis, was arrested for the murder of a child and accused of ritual murder. Pranaitis proved less-than credible and displayed ignorance of simple Talmudic concepts. He was reportedly killed during the Bolshevik Revolution.
The noted anti-Semite, Col. E. N. Sanctuary, edited and published the first American edition in 1939 and included an Appendix titled, “How the Popes Treated the Jews,” which has been omitted from this edition. Edward Fields of the National States Rights Party (NSRP) issued this facsimile of the first edition, which was distributed by both the NSRP and by G. L. K. Smith’s Christian Nationalist Crusade (among others). Other far right publishers reprinted it later as well.
