A Nationalist journalist, Anthony Przyamski, astonished the Court of Appeals when he dramatically renounced anti-Semitism and asked the court to confirm instead of quash a lower tribunal’s sentence of 30 days for participating in anti-Jewish attacks.
When the journalist’s case was called, he rose and declared: “I ask confirmation of my original sentence of a month’s imprisonment. I regret my actions and regard the punishment as deserved. In the future I shall devote all my abilities to fight anti-Semitism.”
To attest to his sincerity, Przyamski declared he was contributing 100 zlotys (about $18) to the Mme. Irene Harand’s World Organization to Combat Race Hatred.
