    Pamphlet

    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Pamphlet reprint of a letter from a US anti-Semite to a noted Jewish historian about the trial held in 1934 in Bern, Switzerland, about the authenticity of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a notorious document that described a vast Jewish criminal conspiracy to take over the world. The Swiss Nazi Party was distributing The Protocols at rallies and the local Jewish community, Schweizerischer Israelitischer Gemeindebund (Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities) and the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern (Jewish Congregation Bern) took them to trial for distributing an antisemitic hoax. The judge ordered both sides to produce expert witnesses to prove whether the Protocols were authentic or a forgery. The Nazis could produce no expert witnesses. They were found guilty and the judge declared the document a forgery. The pamphlet is one of the more than 900 items in the Katz Ehrenthal Collection of antisemitic artifacts and visual materials.

    Biography
    The Katz Ehrenthal Collection is a collection of more than 900 objects depicting Jews and antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda from the medieval to the modern era, in Europe, Russia, and the United States. The collection was amassed by Peter Ehrenthal, a Romanian Holocaust survivor, to document the pervasive history of anti-Jewish hatred in Western art, politics and popular culture. It includes crude folk art as well as pieces created by Europe's finest craftsmen, prints and periodical illustrations, posters, paintings, decorative art, and toys and everyday household items decorated with depictions of stereotypical Jewish figures.
