The file contains a report on the Taxil-Schwindel (Taxil hoax). At the beginning of the report, general information about Taxil is presented. His real name is Garbiel Jogand Page, educated in a reformatory and then joined the Freemasons. There, however, he only gained the degree of apprentice and was soon ruled out again. He first became known as a passionate critic of clericalism. The first book produced by Taxil after his conversion was a four-volume history of Freemasonry, which contained fictitious eyewitness verifications of their participation in Satanism. That's why the French anti-Semite leader Ed. Drumond took Taxil's statements for his own book and used them against Jews.
