Wolfgang Kirchstein, 27-year-old member of several right-wing German organizations, was convicted of anti-Semitic activities after a trial at Bamberg, and was sentenced this weekend to five months’ imprisonment. He had been found guilty of distributing anti-Semitic literature by mail to neo-Nazi and other anti-Semitic groups in the United States, England, France, Algeria, Turkey, Sweden and Latin America. Some of the materials he had sent, the court was told, had been received by Kirchstein from the United States.
