The idea
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was a fabrication, but it became influential because it gave conspiracy antisemitism a portable script.

The text makes every modern institution look like part of one plan: press, banks, parliaments, revolutions, education, and public opinion.
Russia · A document without a real meeting
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion purported to reveal a Jewish plan for world domination. It was a fabrication that plagiarized earlier writing unrelated to Jews. Its early Russian publication did not make it a genuine record. There was no Jewish meeting for the text to document.
