Victor E. Marsden
Encyclopedia
Victor Emile Marsden was a journalist
and translator, known for allegedly translating an English language
version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
. According to Robert Singerman
, the earliest known imprint of this translation was published in 1923, posthumously.
in 1920. However, prior to its publication, the Morning Post
, in 1920, utilized the text as a basis of 17, or 18 (depending on which authority is cited), articles making antisemitic allegations against the Jews
. Thereafter, but that same year, the paper published a book on the same matter, entitled The Cause of World Unrest. Marsden is generally credited with a translation of the Protocols around this time. Marsden continues to be associated with most subsequent American English language imprints of the text, known by many different titles, but most briefly, as the Protocols of Zion. In that regard he is only second to Serge Nilus.
The first British English language edition, titled The Jewish Peril, whose Preface is dated, London
, December 2, 1919, was published anonymously, but has subsequently been discovered to have been translated by George Shanks
, an employee of The Morning Post (London). The publisher was Eyre & Spottiswoode
Ltd. edition.
The so-called Marsden translation first appears in 1923. The librarian
and bibliographer
, Robert Singerman
, identifies the following as the first Marsden imprint:
Singerman lists the Wiener Library
(London
) as having this imprint. That library has the following catalog entry for the Marsden imprint:
The British Library
holds and describes the following imprint in its catalog record:
In 1978, Colin Holmes
wrote that George Shanks
, a Russian emigre, first translated the text in Britain into English for The Britons
— a publishing entity which subsequently became "The Britons Publishing Society
."
Marsden is explicitly associated with the 1934 edition, however, and its subsequent imprints. Marsden worked as a correspondent for The Morning Post
, a conservative
London
daily newspaper. On assignment he reported on events in Russia
. As a consequence of the October Revolution
, he was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress
. He was subsequently released and returned home to England. Marsden's name is associated with the 1934 text issued by "THE PATRIOTIC PUBLISHING CO." as the "author of the translation."
The standard work on the Protocols of Zion has been for some time Norman Cohn
's Warrant for Genocide. Cohn only mentions Marsden in a single page, saying that the "Morning Post accepted everything it was told by its correspondent in Russia, Victor Marsden" and "Marsden was an Englishman who had lived many years in Russia and had adopted, with passion, the outlook of Russian right-wingers... Marsden went further and produced a new translation of the Protocols (it is still on sale in London today)." That is all we are told about Marsden by Cohn.
purchased the Dearborn Independent with the publication therein of a series of articles in from 1920 through 1922 which were subsequently published in four volumes, as The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem
.
When Adolf Hitler
took power in Germany
in 1933, both Germany and the U.S. were flooded with mass-produced anti-Semitic
literature, at the core of which was the text of the Protocols of Zion. Ford placed his personal wealth, acquired from his ownership of the Ford Motor Company
, and financed not only the writing in his Dearborn Independent, but the subsequent worldwide distribution of The International Jew. Hitler, on the other hand, directed the machinery of the German Reich to finance and produce anti-Semitic literature. The nameless hired editors of The Protocols were faced with a dilemma: the text had no author, and was too brief for a book. It consisted of a collection 24 or 27 chapters — a mere short appendix (actually chapter XII, the last chapter) in a Russian language
1905 book, by Sergei Nilus
, prophesying the coming of the Anti-Christ. Nilus was merely the translator, however, and could not consistently explain or account for the "appendix," for which he denied authorship. By 1934, and thereafter, the name of Victor E. Marsden proved to be the appropriate solution to the literary need that every book needs an author or an editor. Marsden, its translator, had been dead for 14 years. It was therefore decided by these nameless editors to make him also its glosser. And since 1934, when the expanded edition was produced by Ford's and Hitler's agents, Marsden's name has stuck to it.
is the statement the work is his "crowning monument" (1934 imprint
). Popular biographical knowledge of Marsden derives from this edition of the text. The translation of Nilus' 1905 version was one of the first things Marsden undertook upon his return from Russia
, as is the emphasis of the nameless editor(s) and compiler(s) of this version of the text.
In the 1934 text, the Russian Revolution and Zionism
are portrayed as parts of the "Jewish conspiracy for world domination
." The preface bears Marsden's name, but it is effectively and his obituary
written by an unnamed editor. A substantial portion of the book is simply lifted out of Ford's serial articles, themselves paraphrases and extracts of the prior text.
Marsden is falsely credited with the allegation that a remark was made by Chaim Weizmann
, at a banquet held on October 6, 1920, as follows:
The following remark, lifted from the 1934 text, cannot be attributed to him:
Marsden was already dead, having died on October 28, 1920.
One particular English language publisher is responsible for Marsden's posthumous infamy. An obscure publishing entity named The Patriotic Publishing Company gives its address on the imprint of the Protocols as P.O. Box 526, Chicago
, Illinois
, and it is stated, on the cover, to be "NOT INCORPORATED." It is further stated in this 300-page imprint that it was "issued," "compiled," and "edited" in 1934. It continues to be re-issued and distributed and circulated by others today in the US, and continues to bear 1934 as its date. The last page of the text, titled "INDEX", is really a Table of Contents. It is customary for American
publishers to place the Table of Contents in the front of a book. No other known title exists which bears the imprint of this mysterious publisher at this Post Office Box in Chicago.
