Abstract

"The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is a fabricated antisemitic text purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. The hoax was plagiarized from several earlier sources, some not antisemitic in nature. It was first published in Russia in 1903. It remains probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written ... It was first published in Italian by Giovanni Preziosi in 1921, despite having already been exposed as a fake. Reprinted in the 1930s, it was widely used by the Fascist regime in support of the antisemitic campaign."--

"Giovanni Preziosi pubblica nel 1921 la prima versione italiana del noto falso antisemita. L'opera sarà ristampata più volte, a partire dal 1937 a sostegno dell'introduzione delle leggi razziali del regime fascista e quindi ancora nel 1944 a Milano dalla Repubblica Sociale Italiana."--
