The file contains reports and newspaper cuttings from 1934. The file belongs to the Verfilmungsprojekt"Die Protokolle der Weisen von Zio" by the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich; Archiv für Zeitgeschichte; Zeitungsberichte von 1903 bis 1935. Several newspaper clippings from different newspapers are attached. Most of the clippings report on the forgery of the Protocols of the wise man of Zion. Articles in French, German and English explain how the Nazis started to use the pamphlet of the Protocols for their antisemitic purpose. Also the question of authenticity of the Protocols is asked again, even though the Times reported in 1921 about the forgery of the Protocols. Several newspapers quoted the results of the Times in order to ensure that everyone knows and understands the forgery of the Protocols. But German right-wing extremist newspapers plead for the authenticity and credibility of the Protocols and accuse all slanderers as liars. The Eiserne Besen and the Nationale Zeitung for example uses the Protocols to spread and reinforce their antisemitic views. Also Jewish newspapers in Switzerland report about the re-emergence of protocols in public. Furthermore newspapers, mostly in Bern, report about the upcoming trial against the Protocols. Information about the witnesses, experts and evidences are discussed and presented in the cuttings. The Neue Züricher Zeitung reports about the upcoming events and how politicians and journalists from Germany and Switzerland deal with the trial. Especially 'Der Stürmer', a Nazi propaganda newspaper, is reporting about the world domination of the Jews, for which the protocols are supposed to stand. Also Jewish newspapers from Germany report about the 'dispute over the protocols'.
