NEWARK MINUTEMEN and An Unholy Alliance? When the Fed and Mob United to take down 1930s American Nazis.
In the 1930s, America had no system for dealing with the Nazi and Communist spies infiltrating America. FDR gave FBI director J. Edgar Hoover a budget and told him to work under the radar of the State Department to investigate the Fascist threat, all without eroding American neutrally.
The next 4 years, Hoover grabbed everything, everyone any way he could to expose the Nazi threat in America. Rabbi Wise, advisor to FDR, and Judge and Congressman Leo Perlman went to MobKing Meyer Lansky to enlist organized crime’s help the government. That was the beginning of the NEWARK MINUTEMEN, an unlikely group of boxers who disrupted the German Fascist efforts to undermine America.
In May, Leslie K. Barry was one of the keynote speakers at the FBIs celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month at DC headquarters. She shared the stage with US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate as well as her colleague Cantor Riselle Bain. Newarkminutemen.com
