Abstract:
A lecture delivered at an international symposium on "Juden in der Weimarer Republik" (Arnoldshain, 1984). Relates that In reaction to the ban on Nazi Party meetings in Berlin, declared in May 1927 by the Jewish Vice-Commissioner of Police in Berlin, Bernhard Weiss, the "Völkische Beobachter" published a defamatory article and caricature of him. Although the diffusion of this issue of the paper was interdicted the same day, about 5,000 copies had already been sold. Weiss initiated libel trials against the "Völkische Beobachter" and Karl Zawitalsky (owner of a newspaper stand) which continued through 1932. In 1933 Weiss escaped from Germany just days before Hitler's accession to power.
