A Cologne court has ordered Der Stuermer, anti-Semitic paper owned by Julius Streicher, to correct a false report that the city’s leading department store was still in Jewish hands. It was formerly owned by the Tietz Co.
Fritz Ut of Schwidenmuehl was sentenced to six weeks in jail on a similar charge. In imposing sentence, the court stated: “It is a grave insult to call any one a Jews because a Jew is a human being of the second class.”
