Myth of the Jewish Menace
The Myth of the Jewish Menace by
Lucien Wolf
Location: New York, United States
Medium: Printed pamphlet, first edition
Collection: Yavneh Klos Collection, Antisemitism Archive
Lucien Wolf’s 1921 pamphlet serves as an intellectual rebuke
to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious antisemitic forgery written
in Imperial Russia and originally published in 1903. The Protocols claim to
detail the minutes of a meeting between Jewish world leaders in which they
conspired to seize the mechanisms of world power. In lucid, impassioned prose,
the English, Jewish journalist calls out the rise of Prussian-style
antisemitism in British and American discourse. This rare first edition is a
landmark in early 20th-century efforts to confront conspiracy theories and
defend Jewish civil rights through reason and scholarship.
