Black Hebrews?
The very words cause many people to grin at what appears to be simply a play on
words. No one reads about such people in European authored history books and
there are only a few references to "Ethiopian Jews" in white Jewish sources.
Yet Black Hebrews have existed since biblical times. In fact, they are the original
or proto-typical Hebrews.
Their story begins with the Patriarch Abraham (2117-1942 B.C.), a native of the
Sumerian city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia. [present day Iraq Ed.]
Archaeological discoveries have proven that the earliest inhabitants of southern
Mesopotamia were members of the "Brown Race," i.e., the Negroid branch of
humanity.
It has been confirmed that the ancient Sumerians were akin to the modern Black
Dravidians of India.
The Sumerians also had an affinity with a people known as the Elamites, the very
first Semitic group mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 10:22). The Elamites were a black-
skinned and woolly-haired people as the colorful glazed artwork on the royal palace
walls of the ancient Persian city of Susa clearly show.
Thus Abraham, the native of Sumeria and the founding father of
the Israelite nation, was a black man.
The black racial origins of the Patriarchs is not based on mere
conjecture, it is in complete agreement with the picture one gets
from examining the identity of the earliest inhabitants of southern
Mesopotamia.
This truth is grossly neglected, suppressed, and distorted in most European
and American historical texts which are flavored with race prejudice.
Fortunately, however, there are enough well authored and highly researched works
by Black historians that challenge the Eurocentric revisions of history and correct
the various erroneous views regarding the ethnic identity of the Hebrews.
Biblical history relates that the descendants of Abraham, namely Jacob (Israel) and
his twelve sons and their wives, 70 in all, migrated from Canaan to Egypt around the
year 1827 B.C. During their sojourn in Egypt the Children of Israel multiplied from
being a family of 70 souls to a nation of over 3 million people at the time of the
Exodus which took place in 1612 B.C.
This astounding number of people in so short a time can only be adequately
explained by intermarriage between the family of Jacob and the native Egyptian
populace.
It is an established fact that the ancient Egyptians were a black African
people. Thus, even if the Hebrews were not black before they arrived in
Egypt, which is unlikely given Abraham's background, they were definitely
black by the time they left Egypt under Moses
The biblical Hebrews were indistinguishable from native Egyptians and Ethiopians.
The Bible is full of examples which demonstrates this, and even ancient secular
historians remarked of the physical appearances of the Hebrews. The historian
Tacitus, for example, stated that it was a common opinion among the Romans that
the Jews "were an Ethiopian race." In Roman times Palestinian Israelites were
classed among Black Africans because it was almost impossible to tell them apart.
Hence, the Eurocentric notion of the Black
Hebrew as a kind of Johnnie-come-lately
in Hebraic history does not accord with the
facts.
On the contrary, the historical record is abundantly
clear that the majority of white European Jewry are
not Hebrews in the biological sense but are actually
the descendants of converts to Judaism during
Greco-Roman and Mediaeval times.
Professor Roland B. Dixon states emphatically that: "The great majority of all
Jews [Ashkenazi] to-day are 'Semites' only in speech, and their true ancestry goes
back not so much to Palestine and Arabia as to the uplands of Anatolia and Armenia,
the Caucasus and the steppes of Central Asia, and their nearest relatives are still to
be found in these areas to-day" (Racial History Of Man, p. 175).
Caucasian Jews are not the lineal descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Nor do they constitute a separate race but rather a religious fraternity which
adheres to the ethnic tradition of a people whose origins are inextricably linked
to Black Africa.
But if the original Hebrews were black where are their descendants in the world
today? Are all black people Hebrews? The answer to the latter question is obviously
no. The Israelites were only one of several black people existing in ancient the ancient
world. Nevertheless, it is certain that the ancient Hebrews customs and practices
who's legacy orginated in Africa, were adopted by that of white Jews in Europe. Very
little is heard about the hundreds of thousands of Black Hebrews living in various
parts of the world such as Africa, Asia, India, Arabia, the Caribbean islands, South
America, and North America.
The history of Black Hebrews in North America is perhaps one of the most important
chapters in US history which has yet to be fully written. The ancestors of African
Americans came from West Africa during the era of slavery. That particular region of
Africa was once home to a number of Black Hebrew tribes that migrated from North
and East Africa over many centuries. In speaking of these migrations, Dr. Yoseph A.
A. ben-Yochannan writes that: "In North Africa, just before the period of
Christianity's legal entry into Rome - due to Constantine "the Great" conversion in the
4th century - there were many Hebrew (Jewish) 'tribes' that are of indigenous African
(the so-called 'Negroes') origin.
These African Jews, as all other Romanized-African of this era, were caught in a
rebellion in Cyrene (Cyrenaica) during 115 C.E. against Roman imperialism and
colonialism. This rebellion also marked the beginning of a mass Jewish migration
southward into Soudan (Sudan or West Africa) along the way of the city Aer (Air)
and into the countries of Futa Jalon and Senegal (Sene-Gambia) which lie below the
parabolic curve of the Niger River's most northern reaches, where the City of Tumbut
(Timbuktu, Timbuctoo, etc.), Melle (Mali) presently stands." ("African Origins of the
Major Western Religions," 1970, p. 76).
Dr. Ben goes on to relate that Black Israelite immigrants from northern and eastern
Africa merged with indigenous groups in western Africa to become the Fulani of Futa
Jalon, Bornu, Kamen, and Lake Chad. They also formed the parent-stock of groups
such as the Ashanti, the Hausa, the B'nai Ephraim (mentioned in earlier posts), and
the Bavumbu (Mavumbu or Ma-yomba). All of these groups suffered tremendous
population decreases during the years the Atlantic slave trade was in operation,
others were completely eliminated.
Thus, every so-called African American has Israelite ancestry in their family tree
whether he or she knows it or not. Even in the very crucible of slavery the
descendants of West African Hebrew captives in America struggled to keep their
heritages from being obliterated by forced assimilation and acculturation. Their
distinctive traditions became submerged in Christianity but always remained a part of
the oral tradition via the so-called Negro Spirituals which praise the memory of
ancestors and kinsmen like Moses, David, Joshua, and Daniel.
Since the African-American conviction of having Israelite ancestry antedates the Civil
War it is not surprising that the earliest Black Hebrew congregation to be established
in North America was founded in the 1880s in Chattanooga, Tennessee by F. S.
Cherry (the group later moved to Philadelphia). Cherry was a railroad worker and
seaman who was fluent in both Yiddish and Hebrew. He adamantly preached that
so-called American Negroes are really the lost sheep of the House of Israel whose
true legacy was stolen from them during slavery. He urged his hearers to investigate
their history in order to rediscover this truth and reclaim their heritage.
In 1896, a man by the name of William S. Crowdy established another Hebrew
congregation in Lawrence, Kansas. In 1899, Leon Richlieu established the Moorish
Zionist Temple in Brooklyn. To date there are literally hundreds of uncharted Black
Hebrew congregations in North America. They do not exist because of an aversion
for mainstream American Protestantism or an attraction to white Jewish culture. As
stated earlier, Black Hebrews have always been in the world; and they repudiate the
notion that they are usurpers of the heritage of white Jews.
The great proliferation of Black Hebrew groups occurred after World War I during
the Great Migration of Blacks from rural areas in the South to urban centers in the
North. There were at least nine Black Hebrew congregations in New York in the early
1900s, one of which was founded by a West Indian named Arnold Josiah Ford called
"Beth B'nai Abraham Congregation." In 1918, another West Indian born Israelite
named Wentworth Arthur Matthews founded the "Commandment Keepers," and
emerged as one of the leading Black Israelite rabbis in Harlem. Born in 1892 of
African Hebraic parentage in Lagos, West Africa, Matthews moved with his family
to St. Kitts in the West Indies before coming to America in 1911.
Branches of the "Commandment Keepers" exist in many American cities such as
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Chicago, Ohio, Virginia, and New
Jersey. In 1965, the "House of Judah" was founded by William Lewis in Wetumpka,
Alabama. The group later purchased a twenty-acre tract near Grand Junction,
Michigan where they practice a communal life-style. Black Hebrews feel that by
reclaiming their Israelite identity they have also recovered an important part of their
ancestral heritage. They hold to the conviction that their "Hebrewness" is directly
traceable to their African forebears of Israelite extraction who were brought to this
country during slavery. They are cognizant and proud of their non-Hebrew African
heritages but like many other people with mixed backgrounds they opt to give certain
of their forebears a more pronounced place in their identity.
Black Israelite groups in America are decentralized and varied in ideology.Unlike
white Orthodox Jews, Black Hebrews reject the Talmud, a collection of commentaries,
as being on a par with the Bible and so they do not conform to rabbinical judgments
which emphasize the need of conversion to Talmudism in order to be considered
"truly" Jewish.
Since the Bible recognizes patrilineal as well as matrilineal descent, Black Hebrews
(like Reform Jews) do not place any special significance on having a "Jewish" mother
as do Orthodox Jews. Another major reason why the Talmud is rejected is due to its
role in creating the so-called Hamitic Myth which is the doctrine that teaches that all
black-skinned people are the cursed descendants of Ham in the Bible.
It was the promulgation of this erroneous myth, passing under the guise of "Jewish"
talmudic scholarship, which provided the moral pretext for European slavery of
Africans. The Talmud was not the product of ethnic Hebrews but of proselytized
Babylonian sages who worked on editing it from the 3rd to in the 6th century A.D.
It should not be used as the litmus test on Hebrew identity, particularly since it was
of men who were clearly prejudice of Blacks, Israelites or otherwise.
A major dilemma facing many Black Hebrews who wish to settle in Israel has to do
with the Talmud and the fact that conversion is a mandatory prerequisite for gaining
Israeli citizenship. The Black Jews from Ethiopian were not allowed to immigrate to
Israel until they agreed to undergo a ceremonial conversion to white Judaism (which
was tantamount to a denial of their own Hebrewness) and embrace the Talmud.
However, many Ethiopian Jews, particular in the aftermath of the recent blood
scandal in Israel, are seriously rethinking their decision to adopt the Talmud
because it has not given them equal status with other white Israelis.
Ethiopians Jews occupy the bottom rung of Israeli society today because they are
black and are not considered "true" Hebrews because of their blackness. American
Black Hebrews wanting to join their Ethiopian brethren feel that the Israeli Law of
Return is unjust because it forces recognition of a racist text (the Talmud) in order
to be considered eligible for citizenship It is truly ironic that the descendants of the
original Hebrews are not considered to be Hebrews even in their own land because
they happen to look like their distant forebears.
MAY 1999
FOR more than 50 years, the relatives of Adolf Hitler have hidden under
false names in Long Island, New York. They have not spoken publicly since
the Second World War. In a revelatory new book to be launched this week,
they break their silence. David Gardner tells their story.
The faint lilt of German folk music floated through the open window of the
dark-wood alpine bungalow as I walked down the short path to the front door.
The property straddled two small roads on a forested private estate nestling
into one of the bays tucked behind slivers of land protecting the New York
coastline from the full impact of the Atlantic Ocean.
Neither close enough to New York city to be overrun by urban sprawl nor
fashionable enough to compete with the wealthy weekend getaways in the
Hamptons, it was a community left largely untouched by the passing of the
years.
This was the place where Liverpool-born William Patrick Hitler had chosen
to escape from the world.
For more than five decades, scores of historians and academics had been
searching in vain for any clues that would solve one of the untold mysteries
of the Second World War: whatever happened to the English Hitler?
William Patrick was the son of Adolf Hitler's half-brother, Alois, but there
was little family affection: "Uncle Adolf" referred to William Patrick as
"my loathsome nephew".
After a difficult childhood in England, a spell in Germany before the war,
and a tour of duty as a US seaman fighting with the Allies during the war,
the burden of his name simply became too much. William Patrick Hitler
adopted a double-barrelled surname and dropped out of sight in 1946,
creating a new life for himself a world away from the horror of the
Holocaust.
Now I was about to ask his widow the question she had been dreading
for 50 years: "Is your real name Mrs Hitler?"
I knew William Patrick would not be answering the door. I had just been to
visit his grave, a 20-minute drive away, at the closest Roman Catholic
cemetery, where I was given the name and address of his widow, Phyllis.
The music stopped and a tall, elegantly-dressed woman peered from behind
thescreen and spoke with a distinct German accent. Even from behind the
grey mesh I could tell the reason for my visit was already dawning on her.
She must have envisaged this very conversation countless times over the
years.
"Perhaps we will talk about it when the boys are older," she said. "We were
married a long time and my husband never wanted anyone to know who he
was. Now my sons don't want anything to do with it. It was all too long ago.
There has been enough trouble with this name."
Despite my polite attempts to persuade her to tell me more, she was adamant
she did not want to talk about her extraordinary family secret. It was only
when I drove slowly away from the house that I realised the implications of
what Phyllis had told me; that the Hitler line did not die out with William
Patrick Hitler when he died in 1987, aged 76. It lived on through her sons.
>From that first, short conversation with William Patrick's widow through
subsequent dealings with her family over a period of three years for my
book, The Last of the Hitlers, and a Channel 5 documentary, set to be
screened on February 4, I have kept a pledge not to reveal the name adopted
by the Hitler family in New York, nor the town where they live.
I was to discover that the Hitler bloodline was carried on through William
Patrick's four sons - one of whom died in a road accident in 1989 - and that
the brothers had decided in a remarkable pact not to have children
themselves in order that Adolf Hitler's genes would die with them.
The eldest of these sons holds an even more remarkable secret; he was
named after his despotic uncle. So an Adolf Hitler lives on to this day in a
forgotten corner of America. Alexander Adolf Hitler understands the
enduring fascination with his great-uncle but, like his mother, he doesn't
want his life overturned, and possibly endangered, by revealing his true
identity.
He told me: "I know that in England there is still a lot of interest in
Hitler and it is on the television and in books and newspapers more often
than it is here. Just make sure you say good things about my father because
he was a good guy. He came to the United States, he served in the US Navy,
he had four kids and he had a pretty good life."
Just in case I was in any doubt, Alex wanted to spell it out: "My father was
definitely anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler." So why did he name his eldest son
Adolf? "I don't know. I wasn't there when that was decided."
The naming of Alexander Adolf is one of the many contradictions in the
fascinating saga of a family's attempt to escape from its surname.
As a journalist working in New York, I spent nearly four years trying to
unravel the secret of William Patrick's disappearance. I was fascinated
and intrigued by what I unearthed - with the help of FBI files, intelligence
reports and, eventually, through interviews with his family and friends -
about his remarkable life.
The story begins with William Patrick's father, Alois - Adolf Hitler's older
half-brother. He was touring Britain studying, he said, the hotel industry
and met a farm girl called Brigid Dowling in Dublin in 1909. The couple
eloped to London before moving up to Liverpool where Brigid gave birth
to their only son, William Patrick, in a flat at 102 Upper Stanhope Street,
Toxteth, in 1911.
Alois ran in turn a small restaurant in Dale Street, a boarding house on
Parliament Street and a hotel on Mount Pleasant, which went bust. Bankrupt,
Alois left his wife and young child to fend for themselves and returned to
Germany.
When William Patrick grew up he moved to London but by this time his uncle
had risen to power in Germany. For the first, but not last, time the curse
of his surname struck and he was laid off from the job he had found.
He decided, therefore, to travel to Germany and make full use of the Hitler
family connections. His father and uncle helped him find work but the young
William Patrick thought that he deserved something better than the
book-keeping jobs he was given. He eventually fell foul of his uncle when he
suggested that if he wasn't found something more befitting a member of the
Fuhrer's family, he would go public with rumours that the Nazi leader's
grandfather was an Austrian Jew.
This prompted an ultimatum by Hitler: William Patrick was ordered to
renounce his British citizenship and take a senior position in the Third
Reich. The young man instead chose to flee from Germany. It was now
1939 and he received a cold welcome in London, so he left England with
his mother for a lecture tour of America on the subject of "My Uncle Adolf".
He arrived in New York at the end of March 1939 and "divested himself of a
lot of uncomplimentary remarks about uncle Adolf", according to a report in
the New York Daily News. His lectures attracted considerable attention at
first but once America was forced into the war at the end of 1941 interest
began to wane.
In 1942 William Patrick wrote to President Roosevelt asking to be allowed to
join the US army. "I have attempted to join the British forces," he wrote.
"The British are an insular people and while they are kind and courteous, it
is my impression, rightly or wrongly, that they could not in the long run
feel overly cordial or sympathetic towards an individual bearing the name I
do."
He continued by saying that he and his mother owed a "great debt" to the
United States and pleaded: "More than anything else I would like to see
active combat as soon as possible and thereby be accepted by my friends
and comrades as one of them in this great struggle for liberty."
As a result of the letter William Patrick was investigated by the FBI, who
found no evidence of any subversive activities, and he was given hope
that he may be allowed to join up. But it wasn't until 1944 that he was finally
enlisted into the US navy.
There was one moment of comic coincidence when William Patrick arrived
at the draft office and was asked his name by the recruiting officer. "Hitler,"
he replied.
"Glad to see you Hitler," said the officer, "my name's Hess."
The event was recorded by several newspapers - it was the last time that
William Patrick Hitler was seen or heard of in public. Once in uniform he
disappeared from public sight for ever.
My inquiries to discover what had happened to him eventually led me to a
small cemetery tucked beside a freeway in Long Island, where I found that
Brigid and William Patrick shared the same grave. He died in 1987, 18 years
after his mother, in the anonymity he craved for much of his life. His
family even considered leaving the grave unmarked, but decided instead
to bury him under the false name that had brought him peace.
I discovered that William Patrick had first met his wife Phyllis in Germany
in the 1930s through her brother. With war looming, the brother had asked
William Patrick to look after Phyllis in New York and dispatched the girl -
who was 12 years younger than Hitler - into his safekeeping. Romance
blossomed and the couple married after the war in 1947.
Their three surviving sons - Alex, 52, Louis, 50, and Brian, 36 - fiercely
guard their privacy and their family secret. Alex is a social worker and his
brothers run a gardening business.
Their father, they told me, was wounded in action during the war and later
set up a blood analysis laboratory in the home he moved to in the
countryside to escape from prying eyes.
None of the three sons has married, and there are no children. Alex
initially denied that there had been a pact between the brothers to ensure
that the Hitler line was not continued. Then he told me: "Maybe my other two
brothers did [make a pact], but I never did." It was just one more
contradiction to add to the many that already cloud his family history.

One might say "I will never eat anything as ugly as that" but things are seldom what they first appear to be it is actually quite savory and worth a try.
When the realization that the Earth was hollow first dawned on me, I reasoned that if it were true,
then ancient cultures like the Sumerians, Egyptians or Mayan civilizations, who were highly
proficient astronomers, with profound esoteric knowledge which was encoded in their temples,
would surely have been aware of it. I began to look into world mythology and scriptures for clues
and found that not only were these people conscious of the Hollow Earth, but their entire belief
system was alluding to it.
It was the mythical Underworld, the Land of the Dead.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh from Ancient Sumer, he sailed to the ?lip of the ocean? into the bowels
of the earth to seek answers to the mysteries of death and life. Gilgamesh could see a "mountain"
in the farthest north, on which there dwelt the ?gods? whichcorresponds to the assembly of
"angels" in the Bible, called the ?sons of God? who present themselves before the ?throne of the
highest.? The prophet Isaiah calls this mountain the "mount of the congregation" of the angels,
and he locates it "in the farthest north? where the north polar opening is... the Stairway to Heaven.
This ?mountain of the gods? - the seat of the high god, is found in most mythologies, including
Persian, Greek and Norse.
According to the texts from Ugarit, the highest god, has his throne on the "summit of the mountain
of the north (Zaphon)". To the Indians it is Mount Meru and the Himalayas conceals the entrance to
Shambhala, an oasis of light, in the inner sanctum. On the summit of the Mount, Brahma, the highest
god, has his throne and Indra and the other gods reside there.

While we credit the races of antiquity with the ability to erect structures like the Great Pyramid with
engineering genius, which we could not duplicate with the technology available to us, when it comes
to their belief in 'gods' or 'angels' and a life beyond the grave in an 'otherworld' - the Afterlife - we
