The Lie That Wouldn't Die: The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion
by Hadassa Ben-Itto
On This Page
Description
Of all the libels that have served as a means of incitement of hate against Jews, and as intellectual justification of anti-Semitism, the myth of the so-called 'Jewish Conspiracy' to gain domination of the whole world, as embodied in the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is probably the most devious and the most dangerous. Previously only analyzed in academic, footnoted studies, the history of the Protocols is presented here by Judge Hadassa Ben-Itto in an eminently readable, show more fascinating account, telling the stories of the numerous people involved over the hundred years that the forgery has existed. Above all, this is the story of a judge who follows the Protocols into lawyers' chambers and into courtrooms in Switzerland, in South Africa, in Germany, in the United States and in Russia, and presents the reader with a detailed critical analysis of legal proceedings which culminated in fascinating courtroom drama. The truth is revealed again and again, but the lie wouldn't die. show lessTags

A very thoroughly researched work.
Hassada Ben-Itto was a Jewish judge and UN representative living in Israel when she wrote "The Lie That Wouldn't Die." She covers not only the accepted origin of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" but also the obscenity trial in Berne, Switzerland and the anti-Jewish pograms in various countries.
It was written after the Holocaust(in which many of her family members died)and provides an interesting view of anti-Semitism in both the pre- and post-Nazi world.
