"The title of the book "Through the Red Sea to the Ghettos of Europe" is an important reflection of its content. It encompasses the history of the Jewish tribe and depicts it from the appearance of the Jews on the world stage until the present. We take a journey into the dark times of antiquity with the author, who illuminates the Jewish question, relying on historical facts, written down by the Jews themselves, and therefore knowing their nature best. As a primary source, the author relied on the Old Testament, containing biblical stories written down by chroniclers and rabbis.
Finding many extremely interesting explanations of the customs and superstitions of Jewry, we follow the transition of the Jews to the territories conquered under Moses and Joshua. Extraordinarily interesting moments are found in the behind-the-scenes activities of the priests and Jewish leaders. By treachery, bribery and fiddling with their own wives, the Jews come to influence the course of 'state affairs, associating strongly against dissenters. The practices of Jewish prophets resemble the cheap effects of circus jugglers. In light of the study of historical documents, the myth propagated by Jewry about the privileging of the Jewish caste collapses . We find an explanation of the origin of Jewish legislation. The parables quoted, the practices of the priests, as well as the cruel customs of the Jews should be familiar to everyone." [publisher's note]
