The Talmud Unmasked (Latin: Christianus in Talmud Iudaeorum: sive, Rabbinicae doctrinae Christiani secreta. English: The secret rabbinical teachings concerning Christians) is a book published in 1892 by Justinas Bonaventure Pranaitis (1861–1917). The book is a collection of purported quotations from the Talmud and Zohar that are claimed to demonstrate that Judaism despises non-Jews and promotes the murder or injury of non-Jews in some instances. Pranaitis drew on the earlier works of Jakob Ecker and August Rohling.[1]
Scholars classify "The Talmud Unmasked" as an anti-semitic and anti-Talmudic work, comparable to "Der Talmud Jude" by August Rohling (1871) and "The Traditions of the Jews" by Johann Eisenmenger (1700). [1][2] [3]

Pranaitis drew on the works of the German anti-Talmudists Jakob Ecker and August Rohling. […] Today, [The Talmud Unmasked] is still being distributed by extreme right-wing and clerical circles and can be accessed from a number of antisemitic websites.
