Marcus Eli Ravage

Marcus Eli Ravage (Revici) (June 25, 1884, Bârlad, Romania – October 6, 1965, Grasse, France) was a Jewish American immigrant writer who wrote many books and articles about immigration in America and Europe between the world wars. Best known for his autobiographical book An American in the Making (1917), he is also known for his 1928 article, "A Real Case Against the Jews,” a satirical attack on antisemitism.

He was also a biographer of the Rothschild family, as well as of Napoleon's second wife, Marie Louise. In addition to his longer works, he served as European correspondent for The Nation, and wrote for both Harper’s Magazine and The New Republic.

His articles "A real case against the Jews" and "Commissary to the Gentiles", published in the January and February 1928 issues of Century Magazine, were apparently translated as "a devastating admission" first in the Czernowitz Allgemeine Zeitung on September 2, 1933. It was then re-translated as A voice in the wilderness; Jewish rabbi [sic] on Hitler's anti-Semitism by Right Cause in Chicago.

He attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri after moving to the United States.
