Hitler may have popularized the term "The Big Lie." He certainly did not invent the concept, which goes back no doubt to the early days of human society.

The specific "Big Lie" that "the Jew is the decadent evil behind world finance, the arch enemy of society, and consequently must be destroyed" was adopted by Hitler, not invented by him. Even in its racial, as opposed to religious, form it goes back long before AH was born.

Wagner, Chamberlain and the French aristocrat whose name escapes me at the moment are examples.
