Forgery pushers on trial

1. Forgery pushers on trial Chapter 10 By YordanLyubenov

2. The start of anti-Semitic committees • Tsar Nikolas II & Count Lamsdorf’s idea to form anti-Semitic alliance • Nazi party stealing the idea – propaganda is one of the greatest weapons for Hitler, Communist Manifesto • Propaganda books (Mein Kampf, Protocols) and their distribution via Weltdienst • Secret conferences, anti-Semitic brochures and the Protocols

3. The first trial in South Africa • Strauss von Moltke, Harry Victor Inch, and David Hermannus Olivier (Grey Shirt Movement) and their even more malicious and crude Protocols-like creation • Citation of the Rabbi, creating the hideous and untrue picture of violent and disrespectful ravaging of Germans over Jew • Victor Inch’s false witness testimonials about the origin of the document

4. The first trial in South Africa The “genuinely deceived” David Oliver and his lying comrades Von Moltke’s “150 Jew abduction” and his “rescue” mission The result of the trial – von Moltke and Victor Inch had been fined heavily compared to David Oliver; Inch was sentenced to 3 months of hard labour

5. The second trial in Berne • The Jewish community in Berne against the 13th edition of the Protocols by Theodor Fritsch, and all anti-Semitic publications (6 people in total) • The expert-finding problem – the defendents couldn’t find one • The witness inconsistency problem – only one, and his testimonials were insufficient

6. The Second Trial, Continued • Ulrich von Roll and the different paths Weltdienst and von Roll had • Princess Karadja’s passive position towards von Roll’s request • Assignment of Boris Toedtli as von Roll’s substitute for the trial • Reassignment was done because of unscrupulous nature of Toedtli • Toedtli’s historical background – how his experience taught him that Russians were the good guys and Jews – the bad ones

7. The Second Trial, Continued • Toedtli was to blame for the dependence of the Swiss Nazis on Germany, which was von Roll’s concern • ‘White’ Russian’s purposeful propaganda of the Protocols (they knew that the Protocols were a lie) • ‘White’ Russian’s contempt – the trial was about the existence of the Protocols, not about their content – what Jews were against • Maurice Joly’s Dialogue aux Enfers influence on the Protocols

8. The Second Trial, Continued • Conspiration around Joly’s work, according to Ulrich Fleischhauer, the expert for the defendents • Italian Baron vouching for Fleischhauer • The court’s final decision – The Protocols are a lie • Appeal by the defendents, but again they were told that the Protocols were used mainly for worsening Jews’ lives • Fleischhauer’s recognition beyond the trial

9. The End Thank you for your attention!
