  1. Judge Hadassa Ben-Itto collection 1926-2018

    The collection contains the documents collected by Judge Ben-Itto during years of research for her book The Lie That Wouldn't Die: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The book tells the story of those who forged the Protocols, distributed it around the world and used it as an antisemitic weapon. It also pays tribute to those who exposed and disproved it; with special emphasis given to the two major trials, both initiated in 1934 by Jewish communities in Switzerland and in South Africa against local Nazi distributors of the document.

They include the correspondence and decrees of various Nazi agencies, documents from concentration camps, and documentation of the activities, the life and the fate of Jewish associations, communities, and individuals before, during and after the Holocaust.

    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.
