The file contains correspondences of several people and organizations, written in February and March 1935, concerning the news coverage and press releases after the first court session of the Bern trial in October 1934.

Furthermore, information about the expert opinions and the procurement of new material is exchanged.

A. Loosli, who got with permission of the Soviet government by the librarian Tager in Moscow, copies of authentic material from the tsarist administration, especially on the Russian Okhrana and on the Russian Jews; Boris Lifschitz, who had contacts to the Soviet administration and played an important role in procuring the Russian documents and contacting various Russian witnesses to appear at the first court session in 1934; Saly Mayer, also a representative of the SIG; Ulrich Fleischhauer, a key defense organizer and expert at the Bern Trial, Brunschvig, Rabbiner Dr. M Schorr, Dr. H.
