scope and content: The file contains a newspaper article from the Basler Nachrichten, published on the 31st of October 1934. The article gives general information about the main sessions of the Bern trial, the witnesses and about presented evidence. Witnesses like Rabbi M. Ehrenpreis and several Russian witnesses living in exile were asked about the possible Russian origin of the Protocols of the wise man of Zion. The alleged link between Freemasonry and Jews was also a point of interest and masonic witnesses were cited. The plaintiffs nominated these witnesses and paid a considerable amount to the Court to make the appearance of those important eyewitnesses possible, among them also Chaim Weizmann. The only witness nominated by the defendants was Alfred Zander, Zurich, who wrote some articles on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the newspaper"Der eiserne Bese" (Rod of Iron) of the National Front. Also pictures of Weizmann and Fischer can be seen. The trial with its witnesses and experts on The Protocols of the wise man of Zion caused an international sensation.
