Narrative: The Clé du Mystère (Key of the Mystery) was an anonymous pamphlet, distributed in Canada by the Montreal Anti-Communist Committee (Comité Anticommuniste de Montréal). A virulently antisemitic publication based on Medieval superstitions about Jews as bloodthirsty world conspirators, it was distributed first in Switzerland and other parts of Europe, before being printed and distributed in Montreal. The pamphlet presents a collection of quotes and so-called evidence of the presence of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, with subtitles such as "Communism means Jewish conquest" and “Why the Jews cannot be Canadian”.
