NEWSBRIEFS Barnes & Noble Removes “The Protocols of
the Elders of Zion” from Website
AFTER A SOCIAL MEDIA outcry, Barnes & Noble
removed “Th e Protocols of the Elders of Zion” from
its website, JTA reported.

Twitter users began tweeting about an online
listing on Jan. 25 selling the fabricated antisemitic
text for $24.95 on the book retailer’s website. Th e
retailer said in a statement that the book was fed
automatically to the website from “standard industry
databases” and that the company would “take prompt
action to remove” the title.

A Barnes & Noble representative wrote that the
bookseller does the “utmost to diligently monitor
such submissions for violations of our content
policy” and that the book was never stocked in its
stores. Th e Jerusalem Post reported that while Barnes
& Noble was targeted on social media, other
major online booksellers, such as Walmart, Book
Depository, Th rift Books and Hudson Books, were
selling versions of the book.

Tennessee School Board Removes Holocaust
Memoir ‘Maus’ From Its Curriculum
A Tennessee school board voted unanimously to
remove “Maus,” Art Spiegelman’s graphic memoir
about his father’s Holocaust experience, from its
curriculum, JTA reported.

Board members raised objections about curse
words, nude drawings and “not wise or healthy”
content within it.

During a Jan. 10 board meeting, educators
explained that “Maus” was the centerpiece for a
months-long study of the Holocaust by eighth-grade
English classes in McMinn County.

Board member Mike Cochran said he didn’t object
to students learning about Holocaust history but
questioned why “Maus” was an appropriate choice
because it includes profanity and a drawing of the
author’s mother naked. (Like the other Jews in the
book, the author’s mother is rendered as a mouse.)
Th e district had agreed to redact the profanities
and obscure the nude image, but the board voted
unanimously to pull the book.
