The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Summary
The lecture delves into the persistent threat of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an infamous anti-Semitic forgery. Highlights include the work of historians and books examining its impact and widespread dissemination, emphasizing its adaptability to different political climates and perpetuation of harmful stereotypes.
