An Austrian court today sentenced Otto Braun, 25-year-old editor of the weekly “Nordische Rundschau” for having published an anti-Semitic article. He was sentenced to eight months in prison.
The article was condemned for having incited the Austrian people against the Jews as a nationality and against the Jewish religion. Braun has praised Hitler’s treatment of the Jews and actively sells Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”
