Hans Winkler, former editor of Julius Streicher’s anti-Jewish paper, “Der Stuermer,” was sentenced today to three years in a labor camp and confiscation of half his property by a Nuremberg purge court. The court ruled that Winkler might not in the future accept a public office and also sentenced him to the loss of citizenship rights for five years.
The Jewish Community Council in Berlin today decided to exclude from its welfare scheme any Jew who testifies for the defense in purge proceedings against Nazis, or who refrains from testifying for the persecution when he is able to furnish incriminating evidence.
