The Truth about 'The Protocols': A Literary Forgery

Philip Graves, The Times (Londres / London) — 16–18 August 1921

The Times correspondent shows that the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' plagiarise a pamphlet by Maurice Joly (1864) that was not about Jews. This forgery, spread after 1917 as 'proof' of a Jewish plot behind the revolution, was exposed as early as 1921 — and still circulates.
