The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion by Will Eisner

5.0

"This patchwork of largely fictional works makes the Protocols an incoherent text that easily reveals its fabricated origins." -Introduction - Umberto Eco

" ... it is not the Protocols that produce antisemitism, it is people's profound need to single out an Enemy that leads them to believe in the Protocols." -Introduction - Umberto Eco

"Whenever one group of people is taught to hate another, a lie is created to inflame the hatred and justify a plot."

"Bah! It is inconceivable in our advanced world for an obvious fraud and forgery to survive!"

"The authenticity of the work does not seem to matter, But that is because the anti-Semite, in the great phrase of Jean Paul Sartre, "turns himself into stone." Bigotry becomes his way of explaining the world without having to justify the explanation through evidence or logic." - Afterword by Stephen Eric Bronner -
