Document Summary
The protocols of the elders of zion is a forged document that places the jewish people in a negative light. Published in the 1920s in multiple countries across europe, as well as in america, this document became a reason for hitler"s followers to believe that the jewish people were at fault and should be targeted. However, the fact that the document was forged placed the jewish people in a negative light, aiding to their persecution throughout europe at a height of two world wars. Although this document is forged, the perspective seemingly comes from a. Zionist jew or set of jews who have a plan to spread their extreme zionist viewpoints and to essentially take over the world. With the readers understanding, the real perspective is that of someone who is anti-jewish, potentially a nazi or the german people as a whole. Germany needed a new leader to pick up the pieces and put them back together.
