Background Information: German Nazi Agents Involved
The defendants were financed in their defense by Nazi agents working for the German government, including anti-Jewish activist and Welt-Dienst / World-Service / Service Mondial publisher Ulrich Fleischhauer, the expert appointed by the defendants. The plaintiffs, the Schweizerische Israelitische Gemeindebund/Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG) and the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern, were represented by the Bernese lawyers Hans Matti and Georges Brunschvig (helped by Emil Raas). The plaintiffs financed a larger part of the costs of the citation of witnesses and of the pay of the experts C. A. Loosli and A. Baumgarten.

“Time grows dim. Time that was so long
grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.

—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
“As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter
and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with
a talent for squad-drill.”
