Esta carta fue reproducida por la "Revue de Paris" el 1 de junio de 1928, pág. 574, así como en la obra "Israel, son passé, son avenir" del historiador sueco H. de Vries de Heekelingen, edición francesa de 1937, pág. 104, y en varias publicaciones del profesor sueco Einar Aberg. Al parecer la carta se la escribió el joven Karl Marx en 1848 a su rabino Baruch Levi, a poco de concluir su famosa obra, el Manifiesto Comunista.


“   En esta nueva organización de la Humanidad, los hijos de Israel, esparcidos por todos los rincones de la Tierra... se convertirán, en todas partes, sin oposición alguna, en la clase dirigente, sobre todo si consiguen colocar a las masas obreras bajo su control exclusivo. Los Gobiernos de las naciones integrantes de la futura República universal caerán, sin esfuerzo, en las manos de los israelitas, gracias a la victoria del proletariado. La propiedad privada podrá, entonces, ser suprimida por los gobernantes de raza judía que administrarán, en todas partes, los fondos públicos.
Así se realizará la promesa del Talmud según la cual, cuando llegue el tiempo del Mesías, los judíos poseerán los bienes de todos los pueblos de la Tierra.
[...] El pueblo judío, considerado colectivamente, será su propio Mesías. Su reino sobre el Universo se obtendrá por la unificación de las otras razas humanas, la supresión de las fronteras y de las monarquías, que son el baluarte del particularismo, y el establecimiento de una República universal que reconozca los derechos de los ciudadanos judíos.

Of this hoax, researchers wrote:

"Professional anti-Semites are continually discovering secret Jewish "conspiracies" with which to inflame the passions of their ignorant followers. Simple-minded people avidly accept simple-minded explanation that all of the world's troubles caused by the Jews. There is a regular business of producing forged Jewish documents, and it is very plain to any serious student that hate peddlers have scoured the earth in search of "documents" which are then placed in files, for use at appropriate times. Thus we find that a reactionary magazine, Revue De Paris, in its issue of June 1, 1928, carried a long and Prime article in French, whose translated title is "The Secret Origins of Bolshevism: Henry Heine and Karl Marx." It is a vicious, anti-Semitic article, which tells of a Jewish "conspiracy" to conquer the world and then ties this imaginary conspiracy to Communism. As part of its "proof," it quotes from an alleged letter from one, Baruch Levy, to Karl Marx, the co-founder of the modern Communist movement. Nowhere in the article is there any inkling of who Baruch Levy could possibly be, excepting that he is referred to as a Neo--Messianist (whatever that is supposed to denote). The Baruch Levy "letter" outlines a Jewish plan to take over the world. Nowhere in the writings of Karl Marx is there any mention of Baruch Levy and/or his alleged letter. In fact, one can be reasonably certain Marx would have consigned it to the incinerator, if such a letter had reached him. Revue De Paris does not state where it obtained the alleged letter. The obvious reason -that it is a fraud- can easily be deduced from the internal evidence. Its leitmotif is almost identical with the central theme of the Rabbi Rabinovich fabrication (which we have already discussed) and the fraudulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion (which we will soon examine). In other words, any sane person, who has a knowledge of history, can readily recognize the Baruch Levy letter as a palpable fraud.

Thirty-seven years later, Hal Hunt quoted the Baruch Levy letter on the front page of his hate sheet, National Chronicle of March 11, 1965, along with the Kol Nidre hoax and other fraudulent items. How did the editor of a small-circulation sheet obtain an article from a Parisian magazine and how did he obtain an English translation of this essay? The answers are obvious to anyone who does research into the propaganda techniques of the hate publications: it is a stock item, which travels from -one hate publication to another, because the members of this fraternity read and dote on each other's fulminations. The Baruch Levy hoax has appeared periodically, and will probably continue to be used until there is no longer a market for this kind of merchandise.

We asked Dr. Herbert Aptheker, Director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies, to do some additional research about the alleged letter from Baruch Levy to Karl Marx. In a letter, dated September 5, 1967, Dr. Aptheker stated:

I have examined five of the biographies of Marx . . . including those by Mehring, Ruhle, Postgate, Eastman, Lewis . . . and find no mention of anything in any way resembling the material you quote from Baruch Levy. In all my reading in Marxism ... considerable for about 33 years . . . I have never seen anything remotely like that. Let me add that I have examined the indexes of all 6 volumes . . . Volumes 27 through 32 . . . of the Marx-Engels Werke (Dietz Verlag, Berlin, 1963-1965) and find no mention of a Baruch Levy or any indication of any letter in any way similar to that you mention. These are the volumes which contain the letters . . . Briefe . . . of Marx and Engels, commencing in 1842 and going through 1870 (all so far published). I think one may therefore say great confidence that the letter is a hoax, as one would believe in any case from its contents."
