This nonfiction book in graphic-novel style examines the outrageous fabrication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world. Hatched as an anti-Semitic plot by the Tsar's secret police to deflect widespread criticism of the Russian government, the forgery, first published in 1905, succeeded beyond the propagandistic ambitions of its originators; the lie became an internationally accepted truth. Presenting a pageant of historical figures including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Eisner exposes the twisted history of the Protocols from nineteenth-century Russia to modern-day Klan members to Islamic fundamentalists. The plot unravels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century. 610 0 $a United States $9 11888 650 0 $a Antisemitism $9 16518 650 0 $a Protocols of the wise men of Zion $9 64319 651 4 $a Germany $9 23066 651 4 $a Soviet Union $9 39309 655 4 $a Historical non-fiction. $x Adult non-fiction comic. $9 64320 941 $a 1 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20211104010217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D8D842A3D3411EC9C97041D53ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
