After the revolutionary outbreaks in various European centres (1848-49), such as Milan,Sicily, Paris, Venice, Berlin,Vienna, Bavaria and Hungary, it was thought by some writers that the Jews were sponsoring or supporting dangerous,nationalistic ideologies. As the century wore on Jews were associated with liberal, radical, socialist and finally, communist ideals. Of course, other Jews were freely engaged in capitalist ventures as entrepreneurs. Some writers put forward the paradox that if Jews could be expelled from Germany and France then both capitalism and socialism could be overthrown.
A new focus for hatred of the Jews appeared after the Russian revolution of 1917. The prominence of several Jews, such as Marx (an apostate Jew), Trotsky, Radek, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Bela Kuhn in Hungary was taken as proof that Bolshevism was Jewish in origin and nature. The Communist International and the leadership of the Bolshevist movement was thought to be entirely in the hands of Jews, and the fear of an “eastern Bolshevist assault “ became the basis of much of the national-socialist ideology in Germany in the 1920-30’s
All these phobias became fused into an ominous phantasmagoria in Germany in the early 20th.century where the mixed illusions appeared as Jews, Masons, Bolsheviks, international capitalists, atheists and arch conspirators, all of whom formulated their plots in “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” after 1905. Much of this fantasy script is a direct plagiarism of a work of 1865 written by M.Joly. The compiling of this work was done by Ratshkovsky ( an agent of the Russian secret police- the Ochrana), and it became the veritable document which created the warrant for the Holocaust .
