1910 May 30 Philipp Stauff writes a letter to Heinrich Kraeger in which he mentions the idea of an antisemitic lodge with the names of members kept secret to prevent enemy penetration. Stauff was convinced that the powerful influence of Jews in German life could be understood only as a result of a widespread Jewish secret conspiracy. It was supposed that such a conspiracy could best be combatted by a similar antisemitic organization. (Bundesarchiv, Koblenz)
