Case 1: Background: Life in Motherland > Protocols of the Elders of Zion: Instructions for Translators
Instructions for translators of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. No place, undated
An instruction manual on how to translate The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the infamous Russian literary hoax published by the Tsar’s secret police. A key element of anti-Semitic thought has been the belief that Jews influence or control world events. The author of the manual instructs translators to use the Russian version as their principal text but to make all necessary additions and corrections in their translations for each specific country.
