Accused of Treason
The US Army's witch hunt for a Jewish spy
Millions of dollars spent, thousands of lives lost, and a witch hunt that continues behind government doors.
You're lying. I've gotten other Jews to confess... I'll get you to confess too.
Dr. David Tenenbaum has been called the Dreyfuss of our time.
The son of a Holocaust survivor and father of four, in 1997 he was falsely accused by the US Army of being an Israeli spy based solely upon anti-Semitic accusations from co-workers, which the government then covered up under the pretense of national security. Despite no evidence and no suspicious activity, he was accused of having dual loyalties to Israel… accused of treason.
The Story
February 1997 was the date that changed the Tenenbaum family’s lives forever.
Dr. David A. Tenenbaum is a civilian mechanical engineer who works for the Army at the TACOM base in Warren, Michigan. In 1997, after years of anti-Jewish workplace harassment, he was falsely accused of being an Israeli spy by a known anti-Semite and several other anti-Semitic coworkers. The FBI conducted a full-scale criminal investigation of Tenenbaum and his family.

Advanced Praise
“David Tenenbaum's riveting truth telling is the story of the pornography of power. His tale about the longevity of a phony criminal espionage investigation comes as hate groups resurface in American politics. The failure to hold antisemites and other gross wrongdoers to account in General Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex," and Tenenbaum's unfailing effort to do what is right, should be seen as a modern David versus Goliath saga, as the Philistines are again at the door.”

Decorated national security and human rights whistleblower
“An essential read for Americans concerned about corruption within the Security state underlying all institutions of American governance. Dr. Tenenbaum was targeted for reprisal because he exposed a lack of preparedness within the U.S. Army, preparedness to take on the emerging asymmetrical warfare threat posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). As the nation prepares for the response to the killing of General Qasem Soleimani, we should remember that the General’s hand was behind the IEDs killing and injuring our troops; Dr. Tenenbaum had the best engineering approach to countering that threat in the late 1990s, and Dr. Tenenbaum was punished for being that whistleblower.”
