Munich’s State Prosecutor has launched a probe into the assault against Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld at a right-wing rally Dec. 4. Klarsfeld, who suffered severe head wounds, did not file any charges but the State Prosecutor is investigating because of the serious nature of the assault and because several people were involved. Dr. Hans Lamm, president of the Munich Jewish community, said Munich’s Jews are filled with “disgust and dismay” because Klarsfeld was allowed neither the freedom of expression guaranteed by the constitution nor protection against the Nazi assailants.
