EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT JEWISH GANGSTERS!

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT JEWISH GANGSTERS!

A presentation by William S. Weiss, Historian

Sunday, April 14, 2024

2:00 pm

Join us as we learn about the roots of Jewish crime, starting with the immigrant Jewish pimps, arsonists, and horse-peddlers, through today’s sophisticated gambling racketeers, tax swindlers, diamond smugglers, money launderers and drug distributors.

Jewish gangs took their place alongside their Irish predecessors and Italian contemporaries in mastering the rackets in immigrant ghettos. Jewish mobsters dominated the liquor trade, the labor rackets and gambling rackets.

Today’s “Russian Mafia”, which includes Jewish members, is the forefront of “frontier capitalism” in Russia and forging powerful ties with the remnants of Mafia in America.

William Weiss is a historian and lecturer specializing in modern American history. He has taught and lectured at colleges, synagogue groups, senior centers, and historical societies. He is a former trustee of the Jewish Historical Society of New Jersey.
