  1. Grahamstown Trial, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1934

    The "Grahamstown Trial" which took place in 1934 in Port Elizabeth (ZA) deals with several issues; a document crudely forged by Harry Victor Inch, the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion and a Jewish world conspiracy. "Die Rapport" (an anti-Semitic newspaper) published a document allegedly stolen from the Western Road Synagogue in Port Elizabeth: This fake document contains a series of antigentile writings including a vague plan of Jewish world domination. The forgery pretends to be a record of an address delivered by Abraham Levy (the Minister of the Port Elizabeth Hebrew Congregation) to th...

    The Key to the Mystery, or Clé du Mystère, was a virulently anti-Semitic pamphlet, in the shape of a 32-pages booklet, published in Canada in French and English, and distributed in several countries in Europe in the 1930s. Adrien Arcand, the leader of the fascist Canadian paramilitary organization “Blue Shirts”, edited and published the pamphlet.
