If ever a piece of writing could produce mass hatred, it was the so-called “Protocols of the Stages of Zion.” Professor Wiesel asks how such an infamous forgery had such a lasting impact. Looking at the origins and versions of the Protocols, Professor Wiesel reminds us that these “vile theories” of Jews planning to conquer the world were not new. He reads from a review of the Protocols in The London Times that initially accepted the Protocols as genuine. In 1920, just two years after the end of the war fought to prevent German world dominion, The Times spoke of the more dangerous and more secret threat of Jewish dominion. When people need scapegoats in times of war, revolution, economic troubles or plagues, conspiracy theories about Jews seem to fulfill that demand. To the question what we should do about this fanaticism of hatred, Professor Wiesel does not claim to have the answer but insists that education must be a major component.
