The History of a Lie, the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion

Rate this book
This book is an illustrated version of the original The History of a Lie by Herman Bernstein. “In the war’s aftermath the Jews are being blamed by the minions of autocracy and reaction for all the ills that have befallen mankind. Some blame them for the war, and others for the peace. Some attack them for the defeat of the German military machine, and others for the victory of the allies. In Germany they are attacked by the Junkers for having opposed the submarine warfare and thus assured Germany’s defeat; while in some of the allied countries the Jews are denounced for constituting “the brains of Germany.” All the revolutionary leaders of Germany are credited to the Jews, and bolshevism, which has as little in common with Judaism as it has with Christianity, is branded as a Jewish movement; and there are Jew-baiters who in their blind madness have gone so far as to declare that ex-Kaiser Wilhelm was not only influenced by the Jews but is himself of Jewish descent, and for this reason did not defend Germany as loyally as he should have done.”

The content could have easily be printed on 10 pages instead of 80. Lots of repetition, without any sources, references, or other marks of scholarship.

Always a good thing to know the origins of nonsense history.
