Jewish merchants owned, insured, and financed slave ships and outfitted them with chains and shackles for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. They were auctioneers, commission merchants, brokers, and wholesalers, keeping the slave economy oiled with money, markets, and supplies.
According to Jewish scholar Dr. Harold Brackman, during the 1600s slave trading in Brazil became a Jewish mercantile specialty in much the same way it had been in early medieval Europe. In fact, wrote scholar Jonathan Schorsch, Jewish merchants routinely possessed enormous numbers of slaves temporarily before selling them off. The Jewish Encyclopedia adds that Jewish commercial activity in this time included a monopoly of the slave trade."
Dr. Marcus Arkin wrote that the Jews of Suriname used many thousands of Black slaves, and Rabbi Herbert I. Bloom added that the slave trade was one of the most important Jewish activities... In 1694, Jews owned 9,000 Africans. They protested vehemently when the Gentile authorities decreed that the slaves should have a day off.
