Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First English Edition. "The interaction of Jews and Freemasons began with the very first Masonic constitution, which was compiled in England in the 1720s. Mr. Katz explores the process of the admission of Jews into the Freemasons in Europe, especially Germany. He also traces the myth of Jews and Freemasons as bent upon world domination, examining its various stages and how they led to the fabrication of the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'. He studied works concealed in Masonic libraries and archives which had never before been available and examined the anti-Semitic literature which supported Hitler and linked the Jews and Freemasons together." - dust jacket.
