Largely plagiarized from several earlier sources, it was first published in Imperial Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century.

It has been described as "probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written". Creation The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
