(Anti-Semitica, psedo). “Down with the Jews! Meeting of the Society for the Suppressing the Jewish Race: A Terrible Plot Against the Jewish People.”

Satire on anti-Semites, with reference to prominent contemporary anti-Semites, e.g., Judge Henry Hilton, Daniel Corbin and Max L. Rossvally (i.e., Mordechai Rosenthal, an apostate Jew). Purports to relate the proceedings of a meeting of the American Society for the Suppression of the Jewish Race and resolutions it adopted. The resolutions are pledges to boycott anything to do with music, art, finance, transportation, etc. that has a Jewish connection. By naming dozens of specific examples, the “resolutions” actually highlight the contributions of the Jewish people in general, and to America in specific. The end of the document demonstrates the virtues of the Jews (i.e., they are not criminal, hygienic, educated, etc.). The author, Harry H. Marks (1839-1922) was a civil war veteran (American Jewish Year Book, Vol. XXV, p. 140; no other works by him are known)
