Abstract:
Although Freud was very conscious of the Jew-hatred in Europe, it was only in his "Moses and Monotheism" (1939) that he gave a more exhaustive clinical and historical explanation of Judeophobia. But even there he did not analyze the conspiracy myth. Freud mentioned it only once, saying that "an old Jewish fantasy about world domination, abandoned by Jews a long time ago, still exists among enemies of the Jews, among those who believe in the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'". Discusses Freud's view that the Jewish religion has its sources in Egyptian monotheism, in which the idea of world domination existed as one of God's promises. Freud's hypothesis concerning the myth of the "Jewish conspiracy" was completely forgotten by other psychoanalysts.
