I think it is only about the salves from America. And the Atlantic Slave Trade. The Atlantic Slave Trade would be somewhat verifiable by checking who owned the boats as I expect that most of them had the same owners probably just a handful of them. As for owners in US who had slaves, that I agree that it does seem far fetched but who knows. I have no idea if there are any records of that, I do remember that a very small percentage of Americans actually had slaves but I have not double checked that either :P
Most of the slave owners in America would have been Protestant, not Jewish. Again, the boats weren't necessarily owned by slave owners, just slave traders. And who were slave traders? Lots of people, including Africans, Dutch, French, and Portuguese.
Slavery is basically a bourgeois activity. Only the very rich could really afford it unless you had a weird situation where you just had one slave that was a domestic servant.
