Posters calling upon the population to cambat the Communists, designated as the “Third Jewish International”, the Socialists, designated as the “Second Jewish International”, and the Free-Masons, designated as the “First Jewish International”, have now appeared on the streets of Geneva.
The posters also announce that their appearance had been delayed because no printing shop in Geneva, “neither Catholic nor Protestant,” was willing to print them, and the printing had to be done outside of Geneva. The posters are signed by the reactionary anti-Semitic Swiss organization “Res Helvetia”.
