Alphonse Toussenel

Alphonse Toussenel ( born March 17, 1803 in Montreuil- Bellay, † April 30, 1885 in Paris), also wrote Alphonse de Toussenel, was a French writer, journalist and Utopian. He was in the meantime, among other chief editor of the French magazine La Paix. Toussenel regarded as the founder of modern anti-Semitism; it marks the transition from the old religious antisemitism to modern racial anti-Semitism.

Among the best known works of Alphonse Toussenel counts the book The Jews, Kings of the Epoch: A History of Financial feudalism, which was released in 1846. He criticized in this book, the financial terms on which James de Rothschild was able to acquire to Belgium as a representative of the Rothschild family, the railway line from Paris. The terms on which this transaction came into existence were certainly worthy of criticism. Alphonse Toussenel connects these criticisms, with an argument against the Jews of the Rothschild family. He claims, among other things, France had been sold with this transaction to the Jews and the French railway lines circumstances directly or indirectly under the control of Baron Rothschild, the king of the financial world, a Jew who was made ​​from a very Christian king to the Baron.

The often translated script was one of the first who warned of a planned " Jewish world domination ": The once oppressed, but now privileged minority would subjugate the Christian world and threatens to take revenge on the former persecutors. The idea was then propagated later by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion on.
