In Jack Bernstein's The Life Of An American Jew In Racist Marxist Israel, the author said many times that there was a cooperation between the Zionists and the Nazis. For instance:

In Germany, the average Jews were victims of the Zionist elite who worked hand in hand with the Nazis. Many of those same Zionist Jews who, in Germany, had worked with the Nazis, came to Israel and joined hands with the Zionist/Communist Jews from Poland and Russia.

[...] During World War II, in Germany these elite Zionist Ashkenazi Jews worked closely with Hitler's Gestapo in persecuting the lower class German Jews and delivering them to concentration camps.

Is this historically true?

Thanks in advance.

I'm asking specifically about France as I know each country had a very different system. Looking at depictions of France in the 13th and 14th centuries it seems like a hodgepodge of different titles having land. Some land is owned by the crown, some land is in duchies, some is in counties, some in viscounties, some is in marches, and its all a mess.

So my main questions are: Was there any difference between a duke, count, viscount or marquis besides the relative rank and prestige? Like, could a duke have counts or viscounts as vassals as they are a lower rank? Or were dukes, counts, etc, just all different types of nobles sworn to just the king? Also, where do baronies come in? Did all of the higher noble ranks generally have them as vassals? Where they similar to the barons in England, who gave some of their lands to knights as knight fees, and had very spread out territories?

Thanks for the help.

I'm currently being considered to teach in the Philippines next summer, and I'd love to learn as much as possible about their history beforehand. History is my passion; I'll likely be teaching English, but if I can use history as a tool to do that, I'll be so happy!

Most of Japan's leaders from the Second World War were prosecuted and punished for their conduct during that war. However the Emperor, who appeared to be involved in many major decisions during the war, wasn't prosecuted. On wikipedia, the only explanation is that he was spared to "maintain continuity". There must be more to it than that?

The Julia family, the Valeria, and many more. Their class ruled the Republic and Empire for decades, if not centuries. What happened to them towards the late Empire and the fall? Did they migrate East to Constantinople? Die out? Change their names and settle to rule somewhere?

Can any modern families or aristocratic dynasties trace their lineage to one of these ancient gens?

why have these two colors become embedded with these meanings? Is this a modern construct or something that has ancient precedent?

For example, "two thousand and fourteen" is "MMXIV" as a Roman Numeral. Would it have been said as such in spoken communication, or would these numbers be said in Latin(or other languages)?

... I can't recall exactly which battle it was, it may have been the battle of Kiev, but I distinctly remember being impressed with how the Russians were able to deliver such heavy equipment, rapidly into battle via light weight aircraft back in the 1940's!

Is this true - did this actually happen or is my memory playing tricks on me?

It is in the Albanian flag, in the Serbian flag and in some other emblems that can't think of their names now. Is there a correlation? Where is the origin of the two headed eagle?

It seems that if you read enough comments/articles/etc. online, you get the sense that Americans are almost fanatical in their support of their 2nd Amendment rights. I'm not judging them either way on that, but it made me wonder: have Americans always been this passionate about their guns?

If I went back in time to the 1920's or 1930's and attempted to pass a law barring citizens from owning guns like the Thompson sub-machine gun, would their be mass protests like there would be today?

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, someone please correct me if there's a better place to post this.

So where did the American accent come about, and why is it so wildly different from other accents? Accents such as Australian, South African, and to a certain extent, North-east American accents tend to have a closer relationship to British accents than American accents do. For example, very hard "R"s and pronunciation of the letter "A" especially. I can't think of any other accent off the top of my head that has that same hard "R" sound that most American dialects have.

So is there any real origin of the accent, or was it a natural evolution that just differed from other colonies?

For football/soccer teams, how were leagues like the EPL, Bundesliga, or La Liga incorporated? What led to their creation in the first place? What was the demand like for spectator sports during their inception?

How did Japan get involved in WW1?

Why did they side with the UK/France?

What influence did they have on the war?

How much combat/support did they provide?

Why did British-Japanese relations break down afterwards and would later fight each other during WW2?

What are the roots of the human race?

If you have any suggestions on books or sources for others and myself to read, plesse provide. Thanks

Just curious when this become so popular amongst our society

It's no secret that many misunderstandings about history and historiography arise from a lack of lay knowledge about how these things actually work.

What do you wish that lay newcomers knew about scholarship/writing/academic ideas/etc. in your field before they start to dive into it? What might prevent them from committing grievous but common errors?

Reading into the battle a theme keeps cropping up, a lot of the time a contributing factor towards the French defeat was not actually to do with Napoleon but rather to do with the actions of his Marshal's.

Obviously we have Jesus, but do we written accounts of any others?
