Myth of the Jewish Menace

 

The Myth of the Jewish Menace by Lucien Wolf


Date: 1921

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.
