Scope and Content
The attached files contain the transcript of the seventh day (19.07.1934) 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 seventh day of trial the hearing of Henry Hamilton Beamish (adviser of Hitler regarding the Jewish Question) was resumed and Mr. Inch was interrogated by both judge T.L. Graham and judge C. Gutsche and cross-examined by the plaintiff's lawyer. As Mr. Beamish's interrogation adressed the myth of a Jewish World Plot, Mr. Inch's was much rather focused on his part in allegedly stealing and publishing the forgery.
