Fifteen Germans who participated in an anti-Jewish demonstration in the town of Offenbach last Saturday will be tried there, it was announced by the chief prosecutor of the denazification ministry of the province of Hesse, in the American zone of Germany.
The 15 are charged with having created a disturbance in front of a home for Jewish orphans. They shouted: “Expel the Jews.” They will be tried under the province’s denazification laws, the prosecutor said.
