Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott take a short time to look into Peter Myer’s work on the “authenticity question” regarding the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Carolyn gives a synopsis of  Meyers’ main pro-authenticity arguments which can be found at http://mailstar.net/toolkit.html. Hadding disagrees with Meyers.

They then read and complete  Chapter 14, “Did the Jews Foresee the World War?”  According to this chapter, the “Jewish plan” was to participate in some way in the events leading up to the war and the war itself  in order to gain a place at the “peace conference” following the  war.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 11:  “Jewish” Estimate of Gentile Human Nature

This is the first of several chapters which analyze in depth the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a book that was causing a great stir in 1920-21 and which was taken seriously by Henry Ford and his editors and writers. Ford, however, did not insist the book was a genuine Jewish world plan. As he says in this chapter:  “And whether these Protocols are of Jewish origin or not, whether they represent Jewish interests or not, this is exactly the state of the world, of the Gentile world, today.”

It’s up to each student to consider the question of authenticity for him/herself.
