summary

According to this infamous text, a secret cabal of Jews seek to dominate world affairs. “The Protocols” emanated from the Czarist secret police and first appeared in 1905. In the aftermath of World War I, the “Protocols” was more broadly disseminated by various anti-Semitic groups, eager to pin blame on the Jews for a toppled world order. The text remains to this day a source of virulent hatred in certain parts of the world. See C.G. De Michelis, The Non-Existent Manuscript (2004); EJ, Vol. VI cols. 581-83.
pp. (4), 149. Ex-library. Modern boards. 8vo.
