In Episode 5, "The Protocols, Henry Ford, and The International Jew"  which we co-produced with Adventures in Jewish Studies, we explored the notorious, fraudulent text, "The Protocols of The Elders of Zion," focusing mostly on its relationship to Henry Ford's antisemitic publications from the 1920s. If you found that episode intriguing, we encourage you to check out Primary Source's recent episode on The Protocols, which reveals even more about both its origin and its relationship to current events.  In that episode, Primary Source asks, "What does the storming of the Capitol building, a Hungarian billionaire, mass shootings, and 4Chan have to do with a forged Russian text that’s more than 100 years old?"

Om Podcasten

What do poems, plays, and other creative texts from throughout history tell us about the times in which they were written? And what do they reveal about the forces still at play in our contemporary societies? Using interviews with artists and scholars combined with readings performed by actors, The Dybbukast examines and gives context to creative works while exploring their relationships to issues still present today. ​ The Dybbukast is produced by theatre dybbuk. While the company is no longer producing full seasons, it will continue to use this platform to present live recordings of its illuminated lectures – which share The Dybbukast format – as they are available.
