'THE SEPHARDIC ANOUSIM'  (First I've heard of this term..)
ISBN 978-026-0-3

COMING MAY 1, 2010

    This book is set to serve as a primer for those first learning or yet unfamiliar with the plight of the descendants of the anousim. Anousim generally means 'forced ones' or 'coerced,' in Hebrew. These are the Jews that because of 14th and 15th century coercion, (before and during the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal), concealed their Judaic observance while acting like they were newly baptized Catholics. The word anousim not only refers to the original generation of forced ones, but also to the descendants of the original generation who today are coming out after centuries of darkness, searching for the light of truth, often still called marranos and for various reasons, crypto-Jews.

    Today, we welcome back the anousim to the religion of their forefathers who suffered, were tortured and were humiliated because of their devotion to their religion and their devotion to the Torah. Let the Torah guide them on their path as they return to the heritage and culture stolen from their ancestors. Anousim and those that may help them, should only seek answers from those that are educated on the subject matter and are judiciously wise enough to appropriatly guide them.

    The anousim and their plight is a situation that world Jewry still has not developed a comprehensive solution for. The anousim should look toward their local orthodox rabbi who will be able to instruct them on their journey. They will need to have patience, be persistent, learn slowly, learn much, but most of all, be welcomed home.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

I think many are genuine converts and will reject the idea. And those who are cryptos working undercover will want to stay there for the moment.

Funny how this is only happening now, they must feel confident that their endgame is near.
