Review of
pro-Jewish myths and history Cecil Roth: The Jewish Contribution To Civilisation
Cecil Roth's 1938 book—Judaic Mythmaking: the Claimed Jewish Contributions to Civilization.
I have a copy of this slim volume (the 1943 'pocket edition', published 'under the auspices of the Leeds Lodge of B'Nai B'rith'). The preface says it was first published in February 1938—obviously a sensitive time, of course. It was adapted for America—there's at least one online downloadable version (the following link is the 1940 US edition; but the plain text version is full of scanner errors)----

The bibliography is largely European-language books specifically on 'Jews' in for example Venice and Majorca, and by activity—letters, or the arts, or the 'economic sphere'. The science chapter is the shortest in the book. There's biographical material on quite a few obscure individuals. I suspect from the general layout and development that much of the book is simply taken from encyclopedias. There's almost nothing on e.g. Sachs, Baruch, the Flexners, Trotsky, Beria, Kamenev etc. The Rothschilds get the sort of treatment to be expected. It's a slim volume and rather laughable—e.g. 'England produced only one Shakespeare' but there are several Jewish scholars! There are inventions such as the motor boat. I recommend it to people who are critically-minded to try to genuinely assess 'Jews'. The overwhelming impression is that the alleged achievements are largely bullshit; it's worth a look for the most absurdly childish and self-adulatory tribal material, a bit like a family with a pronounced criminal history saying how much they always loved collecting art. The 'Nobel Prize' story is part of the mythology, these 'prizes' having been given out for a strange mixture of work, some of it fraudulent, such as Katz's. I would advise people not to take Nobel Prizes at all seriously.
Another issue is patents: It's typically stated that Israel puts in the most patent applications, and invent new things constantly. But—patents are expensive. Ownership of property rights is a financial matter—many inventors work for corporations who take over patent rights. It hadn't occurred to me before that Einstein supposedly being a patent clerk, and industrial spying and the well-known covert explanations to Jews of US military matters, may be part of the same syndrome.
The whole system has been funded in effect by frauds, notably at present getting a percentage from paper money, and a lot of percentages from legal ownership of mineral wealth obtained by the paper money route. There's of course the 'Holocaust' fraud. And also science frauds—NASA, relativity, nuclear bombs, 9/11 in its demolition element, AIDS, and a lot of other medical matters, mostly as far as I know hinging on exploitation of cell biology errors. Investigation of scientific fraud is in its infancy, unfortunately; Kevin MacDonald for example doesn't begin to look at it.
[Michael A Hoffman II states that Jews ran most of the slave trade; and this started in Surinam, in what's now called South America. The index entry for slavery is just ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE (capitals); there is an entry for Surinam. Neither credits Jews with this lucrative trade. There seems no good reason to suppose anything by Roth is true.]
(Roth's book more than slightly resembles the 'black inventions' mythologies that are out there. See this debunking site about black invention myths
