Two young men arrested for street fighting while wearing Nazi swastika emblems on their jackets were given a choice in a court here of paying $200 fines or reading a book on the evils of Nazism.

Judge Saul Epton, of Boys Court, offered the choice to Gene Kubisik, 19, and Daniel Kametz, 21, who faced disorderly conduct charges. Police said the two were arrested in a street fight Saturday while clad in jackets bearing swastikas.

The judge said; “If you did not learn what the swastika stands for in school, then perhaps the court should continue your education in that area.”
