Erklärung des kaiserlich russischen Attaches Andrej Petrowitsch Ratschkowsky

The file contains an explanation of Andrej Petrowitsch regarding the participation of his father on the 'Protocols of the wise man of Zion'. This explanation was part of the evidence shown in the Bern trail. He explains, that he bought a copy of the 'Protocols' in 1906 in Saint Petersburg and showed it to his father, who seemed to see them the first time. Andrej Petrowitsch made clear that the defamation of his father having anything to do with the publication of the 'Protocols' must end. He revised the whole archive of his father in order to find any hint of the participation of his father, but could not find any. Nowhere in his archive, in all the documents which belonged to his father an evidence or lead, as he argues. Furthermore he made clear, that it was not even possible to find any evidence of Antisemitism of his father in his documents.
