Protocols on B & N

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Did you actually go to B & N's website?  I did.  I did not see it listed

under Judaica, although they do carry it along with 3 other books
relating to
its fraudulence.  Only 1 of the reviews for all the books listed was
anti-semetic.  Check it out.  Just because something is on the web,
doesn't
mean it's true.  About 1/2 of the medical info is said to be false.

>
>       "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is an anti-Semitic
>  forgery created to disparage Jews and to disseminate hatred.  I
>  was appalled to discover that you are listing the book on your
>  internet site under Judaica, and concurrently, carrying it in
>  your stores under the same heading.
>       "Since I am a believer in freedom of the press, I would
>  question only your judgment in carrying the book at all, since
>  it is a scurrilous, hate-mongering text.  However, you do not
>  have the right to carry it under the rubric of "Judaica" because
>  that is what it manifestly is not.  Would you carry a book
>  written by the KKK purporting to be an African-American plot to
>  take over the world as "Black Literature?"  In the name of
>  honesty, I insist that you not participate in the
>  misrepresentation of this book as "Judaica."  Perhaps you should
>  create a separate category called "hate-literature" or
>  "propaganda" and carry it there with the disclaimer that the
>  book is, in fact, a forgery.  That in the name of honesty.
>       "In the name of sheer decency, you should not carry the book
>  at all.  In the name of responsible business practices, you owe
>  it to your customers to act immediately and unequivocally, and
>  to cease being a partner in a fraudulent venture that has cost
>  untold thousands of lives.
>       "I will not patronize Barnes and Noble, its internet site or
>  its stores, until you do something to remedy this situation.  I
>  will do my level best to advise as many people as I can of the
>  fact that you are carrying this scurrilous anti-Semitic tract
>  and are misrepresenting it as "Judaica" rather than the
>  hate-literature it is."
