The version of the Protocols that has endured and has been translated into dozens of languages, however, was first published in Russia in 1905 as an appendix to The Great in the Small: The Coming of the Anti-Christ and the Rule of Satan on Earth, by Russian writer and mystic Sergei Nilus.Īlthough the exact origin of the Protocols is unknown, its intent was to portray Jews as conspirators against the state. In 1903, portions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were serialized in a Russian newspaper, Znamya (The Banner). The conspiracy and its alleged leaders, the so-called Elders of Zion, never existed. Those who distribute it claim that it documents a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. The Protocols is entirely a work of fiction, intentionally written to blame Jews for a variety of ills. The individuals and groups who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to spread hatred of Jews. Its lies about Jews, which have been repeatedly discredited, continue to circulate today, especially on the Internet. Protocols of the Elders of Zion The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the most notorious and widely distributed antisemitic publication of modern times. This book is about lies and slander." -Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "If ever a piece of writing could produce mass hatred, it is this one.
