Histadrut Drive Gets Boost
From a Veteran Campaigner
Solomon W. Alper,
believed to be the old-
est active Histadrut
campaigner in the
country, continues to
be a spark in De-
troit's drive to reach
its $300,000 goal. The

Purges Find Inspiration in Protocols of Zion
Soviet propagandists have
turned the pages of Russian his-
tory back 50 years to find in-
spiration for their current anti-
S e m i tic propaganda campaign
in "one of the _biggest a n d
cruelest lies in the history of
mankind," declares the Bnai
Brith Anti-Defamation League.
Making public an analysis and
study of the Prague purge trials
and the communist propaganda
use of the infamous forgery
known as the "Protocols of the
Learned Elders of Zion" which
the Russians invented half a
century ago, Henry Edward
Schultz, national chairman of
the League, declared that "the
travels of this greatest of all
forgeries have now come full
circle."
"Devised by the Czarist regime
as an instrument for making
scapegoats of its Jewish popula-
tion," he said, "it has been used
since by anti-Semites for their
nefarious purposes for half a
century. Hitler borrowed it as a
propaganda weapon for the
NaZis, and now the Russians
have taken it back as a propa-
ganda weapon for Communism."
The evidence, presented in a
20 page document, "The Proto-
cols and the Purge Trial," ana-
lyzes the communist trial testi-
mony of Rudolf Slansky and
ten other Czechoslovakians, Jews
by birth, and finds sharp and
clear parallels — sometimes the
same language — in charges
made against Jews in the "Pro-
tocols.'
T h e faked "Protocols" pre-
tended to be a plan devised by
Jewish leaders for world domin-
ation and control. Portions of it
were based on a novel; the rest
taken from the writings of no-
torious anti-Semites of the 19th
century. By the 1920s, the "Pro-

tocols" had been translated and
circulated in scores of countries
as a genuine historical docu-
ment—until it was exposed as a
hoax. The ADL report cites at
least 12 of the 24 Protocols as
being brought into extensive use
at the Prague trial.
Charges against a group of al-
leged "Jewish terrorist doctors,"
soon to go on trial in Moscow,
are also analyzed. The report
says that these parallel the in-
dictments of Jews made in a
precursor to the Protocols, "The
Rabbi's Speech to the Jewish
People," written by Hermann
Goedsche, German anti-Semite,
and published in Russia in 1891
by the anti-Semitic "Black Hun-
dreds." The book, which is pure
fiction and once formed a chap-
ter in a novel, quotes a fictitious
rabbi as saying, "In science we
will take up medicine and phi-
losophy . . . A physician pene-
trates the secrets of a family
and holds their lives in his
hands."
The League's document de-
clares that the current series of
communist trials are contrary to
two general rules of Iron Cur-
tain countries because Com-
munists generally 'prefer quiet
means of liquidation, and have

myth of the classless society —
