Scope and Content

The attached file contains the transcript of the ninth day (21.07.1934) of the "Grahamstown Trial". This case deals with a crude forgery by Harry Victor Inch (leader in the Eastern Province of the South African Grey Shirts Movement), of the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion and a Jewish world conspiracy. The newspaper "Die Rapport" published a document (in an Afrikaans version on 6 April and in the original English version on 13 April) allegedly stolen by Mr. Inch from the Western Road Synagogue in Port Elizabeth. This fake document includes both a rather vague and a very detailed Jewish "Plan of Attack", which appears to be a record of an address delivered by the rabbi to the members of the local Jewish community. On the ninth day of trial, during a (rather short) session on a Saturday, the interrogation of Mr. Moltke was resumed. He continued by correcting a detail he mentioned on the previous day. Mr. Moltke amended the allegations he expressed in the beginning of the trial and stated that the document might be a forgery - however, a Jew would have had to fake it.
