Comic book tackles anti-Semitic hoax
'Plot' debunks 'Protocols'
By Marcus Eliason
The Associated Press

"The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is 100 years old and still waiting for a stake to be driven through its heart. All serious research has confirmed it is a hoax, yet it continues to feed all manner of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Now comes a debunking from a different quarter in an unusual format, a "comic book" by the master of the genre, Will Eisner, called "The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

The facts: In 1905, with the Russian Revolution stirring, Czar Nicholas II needed a scapegoat on which to blame Russia's troubles. So the Okhrana, his secret police, came up with what purported to be the record of a secret meeting of international Jewish leaders plotting to subvert and take over the world.
