... that the 1998 books Jews and the American Slave Trade and Jews, Slaves and the Slave Trade were polemical rebuttals against the earlier work The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews?

Comment: ALT1 is probably the most hooky, given the sound bites. Main and ALT2 are more 'tame', and I couldn't think of how to reword ALT2 to avoid repeating the book title twice, feel free to suggest more ALTs if needed. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've added one more book to this nom, and did a second QPQ for Template:Did you know nominations/Justyna Krzyżanowska. Perhaps some template needs adjusting to note that this is now a 2-article nom? Ping User:BlueMoonset. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, I've updated the template as you requested. This is ready for review as a two-article nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:33, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Some leeway is allowed for hook length when there are multiple articles, but at 246 characters, I think ALT2 is too long. Two QPQs have been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:59, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
