La Libre Parole, Fevrier. Special edition of the paper La Libre Parole, paper of the anti-Semitic league in France, published after the February 6, 1934 riots, Paris.
Riots broke out when the right-wing parties were concerned that left-wing parties are about to take over the rule. Demonstrators were armed and police forces shot the public, killed sixteen extreme right people and injured two thousand. The paper accuses the commander of Paris police Adrien Bonnefoy-Sibour and Minister of Interior Eugène Frot of being involved in a conspiracy between Jews and Free Masons and claims that Jews are pulling the strings behind the stage. Caricature in the center depicts a characteristic Jew instructing the police to shoot the mob.
