Summary

This is the history of a Lie—of a cruel and terrible Lie invented for the purpose of defaming the entire Jewish people. Given out as fiction, by a German anti-Semitic writer, involved in the Waldeck forgery case, who concealed his identity under the pen-name of an Englishman, it was gradually changed and elaborated, and finally groomed as fact. Agents of the Russian secret police department and of the unscrupulous “Black Hundreds” then utilized this fiction as the framework for the “protocols” through which they sought to crush the Jews and prop up the tottering Russian dynasty. Tsarism destroyed itself, but the agents of Tsarism, still dreaming of their past glory and of a restoration of their privileges, are at work again, both here and abroad. Out of the scrapheap of Russian autocracy, they have exhumed their old weapons and are striking at the Jews again. Upon the structure of the old myths they are striving to erect new falsehoods in order to intensify everywhere chaos and confusion and dissatisfaction so that they may attain their own dastardly and selfish ends.

- "No matter what your opinion is about World Zionist Organization from the 19th century, read this book. Considering that the book "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" is selling like crazy, this book written in 1921 counters all the claims. It is free, which is even better. Good read.“

Reviews

[Fred Kohn]

Herman Bernstein was one of the first to expose the Protocols as a forgery. But he, apparently, was not the first to uncover the Protocols's dependence on Joly's Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. That honor, as far as I can tell, belongs to Philip Graves, a journalist for the London-based newspaper The Times who published a series of articles in 1921 exposing the Protocols' dependence on the Dialogue. Bernstein in this work says nothing about the Protocols' dependence on the Dialogue, instead focusing on the Protocols' dependence on Hermann Goedsche's novel Biarritz. Bernstein reproduces in full the chapter "The Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the Council of Representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel," describing a meeting a Prague Jewish cemetery of the Elders of Zion, which supposedly takes place every one hundred years between representatives of the Twelve Tribes and Satan. The Elders discuss their plans for world domination which includes frequent references to gold and to the press.

Bernstein also makes reference to a document called "The Rabbi's Speech," included in the book The Enemy of the Human Race, published by G. Butmi in 1907. I found it interesting because "The Rabbi's Speech" makes reference to the Rothschilds. The Rothschilds also appear in the second edition of Nilus's book containing the Protocols: "The history of the Rothschilds show that the whole republican era of France is due to Zion and that not a single one of those elected to office has to this time ever done what he promised to do, if the demands of his electors did not coincide with the plans of the government of Zion." I found these references to the Rothschilds interesting because they are frequently referenced in the antisemitic book The Secret World Government or The Hidden Hand: The Unrevealed in History.

In 1935 Bernstein published The Truth About 'the Protocols of Zion': A Complete Exposure, which *does* examine the relationship between the Protocols and the Dialogue. Bernstein's book also contains an English translation of the Dialogue.

[Charlotte Wenner · Rating 1 out of 5]

The content could have easily be printed on 10 pages instead of 80. Lots of repetition, without any sources, references, or other marks of scholarship.

[Matthew J · Rating 3 out of 5]

Always a good thing to know the origins of nonsense history.
