ENTIRE STOCK OF

Historical 'Facts'
Are Questioned

Editor, The Jewish News:
As one who has done a great
deal of research on the history of
the Jews of Detroit, I would like to
correct certain statement made by
the authors of several articles in
the January issue of Michigan
Jewish History. (See story pg. 36)
In his article "An Important Dis-
covery," Allen A. Warsen states
that he has researched the July
1850 U.S. Census of Detroit and
"discovered" a list of Jewish
names "hitherto unknown."
Warsen's use of the word "dis-
covery" is misleading since the
U.S. Census does not indiCate a
person's religion, and the names
listed in the article were selected
by Warsen.
Furthermore, his claim that the
names were "hitherto unknown" is
unfounded. As a matter of fact,
most of the names listed in War-
sen's article have been known for
many years. Marcus (or Mark)
Cohen conducted the first minyan
(private religious service) in De-
troit in 1850. Temple Beth El held
its first worship servics, in 1850,
at the home of Isaac and Sarah
Cozens (or Cousin).
Jacob Silberman was the first
president of Beth El and Solomon
Bendit was its first vice presi-
dent and treasurer. Adam Hersch
was one of the incorporators of
Beth El. Hannah Hersch, wife of
Adam Hersh, was Jewish, wife of
her maiden name was Gutten-
berg.
In his article "Michigan's Jewish
Settlers," Dr. George P. Graff
mentions Ezekiel Solomon, the first
recorded Jew in Michigan, and
states that "Solomon was one of
the five Jewish soldiers in the Bri-
tish army, who, after the conquest
of Canada, stuck together and
branched out into the lucrative fur
trade." They were "army pur-
veyors" and not "soldiers" (see
Jacob R. Marcus, Early American
Jewry, Volume 1, p. 225, Jewish
Publication Society of America,
Philadelphia, 1951).
In his article "Historic Miscel-
lanea," Allen Warsen states "It
is an established historic fact
that the Jew Abraham Gradis
did reside in New France where
he founded the "Society of
Canada" in 1748, established
warehouses in Quebec, and aided
General Montcalm in his defense
of the colony against the Bri-
tish."
However, according to Dr. Mar-
cus in "Early American Jewry,"
Volume 1, p. 201, ". . . there was
not more vigorous, competent, and
determined supporter of New
France than Abraham Gradis. A
native of Bordeaux, Abraham
never set foot on Canadian soil."
