Biographical History
The publishing house, Hammer-Verlag, was founded by Theodor Fritsch (1852-1933), a German publisher and prolific antisemitic writer, in Leipzig, Germany, in 1902. It produced German translations of "The International Jew" by Henry Ford and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as well as many of Fritsch’s own writings, including his "Guidebook for the Jewish Question." His son, also Theodor Fritsch (1895-1946), was a bookseller and Nazi Party member. He inherited the publishing house in 1933 after his father's death. It was in existence until 1940.
