The Protocols of Zion
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion were published in 1903 in Russia. They became notorious later when refugees from the Bolshevik revolution took them to the West. Given the reality that the Bolsheviks were largely Jewish and heavily influenced by Jewish subversives the refugees thought that the book was on the right lines. The Protocols were written as notes on a Zionist plot to take over the world. This annoyed Jews and Zionists who were keen to denounce it.
Two such critics were Herman Bernstein (1935) and Norman Cohn (1971) who argue that the Protocols of Zion are a forgery. Peter Myers tells us that the Bernstein/Cohn “forgery” hypothesis is flawed in The Protocols of Zion Toolkit at http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/toolkit.html
Evidence of the huge Jewish influence in the Bolshevik revolution comes from Robert Wilton in Last Days of the Romanovs. He was The Times reporter in Moscow in 1917 at the time of the revolution and from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the famous Russian author. He was victim of the Bolsheviks and their successors so he knew about them from very unpleasant personal experience. He also knows Russia intimately so he can't be accused of ignorance.
