The file contains several letters, translations and documents belonging to the Freyenwald collection. Freyenwald had several correspondences regarding the Bern trial and therefore the authenticity of the 'Protocols'. He was in touch with the son of Nilus as with other family members of him. Furthermore he exchanged letters with several figures who were contemporaries of Nilus and the time the 'Protocols' were first 'published'. For example a letter by Pyotr Ivanovich Raschkovsky, who was the head of the Tsarist secret police Ochrana, can be seen. Freyenwald got the German translation of the original letter. Other letters regarding Raschkovsky, for example by I. Avakimoff, can be seen. Further the court of the Bern trial explains that it has been probably Rachkovsky and his agents in Paris, who in the early 1900s authored the first edition of the 'Protocols' and sent the forgery from France to Russia. In this file several original letters and documents as well as their translations are attached. A transcript of a letter from 1934 by Nikolaj Philippowitsch Stepanow to Boris Petrowitsch Toedli regarding the attendence of wittnesses and informations for the Bern trial. Also antisemitic letters adressed to Fleischhauer relating to the Bern trial and concerning this matter the death of the wive of Nilus, who died in 1938 and of Andrej Petrowitsch Ratschkowsky in 1941. In addition the original envelopes are attached.
