Bronner, Stephen Eric A Rumor about the Jews (3030070271)
In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization, the
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery, the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking, often being twisted to suit its handlers' purposes, and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. In
A Rumor About the Jews, Stephen Eric Bronner provides a history of this notorious fabrication—one which has renewed salience in a “post truth” society dominated by “fake news'—and explores its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. This new edition of Bronner's 2000 classic (described by
Kirkus as 'the best short book on anti-Semitism') expands the arguments of the first edition, bringing the work up to date in a new political context.
