The file contains correspondences of several people and organizations concerning reports and publications regarding the trial of the Protocols of the wise man of Zion. For example, Alfred Wiener explains that the publication of reports in the Netherlands and other countries is very successful, in the Nordic countries, such as Denmark, various obstacles appeared. Especially in Denmark, it would be because there is currently little anti-Antisemitism and they do not want to make the Jewish question a topic again. But Wiener would continue to encourage a constant reporting in all countries. Also Baumgarten, the expert for the Bern trial appointed by the plaintiffs, tried to encourage his friends in the Nordic countries to report about the events in the Bern trial. Furthermore he discusses the material procurement for the Bern trial with Wiener and also offers to sent him some of his material in return, which could be useful to pursue the reporting. Also Saly Mayer and the Schweizerische Zionismusverband are involved in the procurement of new material. Additionally the verdict of the court is discussed in several letters and the opportunity to use this verdict as a tool against Antisemitism and other conspiracies. 'Commenting on his verdict in the court, judge Walter Meyer said he was convinced by his evaluation of the testimonies of the witnesses and the statements of the experts that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are a forgery and"Schundliteratu" that might instigate crimes by agitation against a minority.' Also letters in which thanks are pronounced for the rendered help, discussions about payments and salaries, as well handwritten letters can be seen.
