A report that Ludwig Zind, the school teacher sentenced recently to a year in prison for anti-Semitic remarks, had been offered a job by a German school in Hamburg is not true, West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano declared yesterday.
He made the comment in reply to a question in the Bundestag. Zind, who was accused of asserting publicly that Hitler “did not gas enough Jews,” declared at his trial that he was not perturbed at his expulsion from school service because he had been offered jobs by a Cairo school and a German Chemical firm. The Cairo school, which confirmed the job offer, is administered by the West German Foreign Service.
