Furthermore financial matters, like payments and loans are discussed. The procurement of process-relevant files and materials is also an important issue, mentioned in the letters.

Loosli, who got, with permission of the Soviet government by the librarian Tager in Moscow, copies of authentic material from the tsarist administration, especially on the Russian Okhrana and on the Russian Jews; Boris Lifschitz, who had contacts to the Soviet administration and who played an important role in procuring the Russian documents and contacting various Russian witnesses to appear at the first court session in 1934, Saly Mayer, also a representative of the SIG; Ulrich Fleischhauer, a key defense organizer and expert at the Bern Trial, in addition letters by Brunschvig, Rabbiner Dr. M Schorr, Dr. H.
