The book was later edited by Rudolf Hess, who became Deputy F\u00fchrer to Hitler in 1933.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book explains Hitler\u2019s ideological processes, how he became anti-Semitic, and describes his political plans for what would become Nazi Germany.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition to writing that the fictitious and fabricated anti-semitic text, <em>The Protocols of the Elders of Zion<\/em>, was authentic, Hitler also wrote that \u201c<\/span><span>the nationalization of our masses will succeed only when, aside from all the positive struggle for the soul of our people, their international poisoners are exterminated,\u201d and that, \u201cIf at the beginning of the war and during the war twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the nation had been subjected to poison gas, such as had to be endured in the field by hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers of all classes and professions, then the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Ironically, the fabricated text referenced as authentic by Hitler is also still available on eBay. The <em>Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion<\/em> is a hoax which describes an apparent Jewish plan for world domination. It was first published in Russia in 1903, and has remained popular among anti-Semites, despite having been shown to have been plagiarized from other sources soon afterwards. Henry Ford even funded the printing and distribution of 500,000 copies in the United States in the 1920s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The text claims to contain the minutes of a meeting held by world Jewish leaders in the late 19th century, known as the \u201cElders of Zion,\u201d and includes 24 \u201cprotocols\u201d containing various themes, such as international conspiracy, arrogance and corruption, or the relationship between gentiles and Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounders\/a-hoax-of-hate-the-protocols-of-the-learned-elders-of-zion\">Anti-Defamation League<\/a>, \u201cThe Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a classic in paranoid, racist literature. Taken by the gullible as the confidential minutes of a Jewish conclave convened in the last years of the nineteenth century, it has been heralded by anti-Semites as proof that Jews are plotting to take over the world. Since its contrivance around the turn of the century by the Russian Okhrana, or Czarist secret police, \u2018The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion\u2019 has taken root in bigoted, frightened minds around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Communist Manifesto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Available for comparatively bargain prices, <em>The Communist Manifesto<\/em> is also up for purchase on eBay. Written in 1848 under the original title, <em>Manifesto of the Communist Party<\/em>, German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels produced what is now seen as one of the world\u2019s most impactful political documents, outlining an analysis of class warfare and the so-called conflicts of capitalism. It was commissioned by the Communist League and published just as the Revolutions of 1848 began.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The document is viewed as one of the primary and foundational documents underlying the spread of communism, with the ideology resulting in the deaths of millions of people under various communist regimes.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/100-years-of-communismand-100-million-dead-1510011810\"><span>Estimates<\/span><\/a> <span>put the total death toll at 100 million people over 100 years of communism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Birth of a Nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><em>The Birth of a Nation<\/em> is a 1915 silent drama adopted from Thomas Dixon Jr.\u2019s novel and play, <em>The Clansman<\/em>.
