A West Berlin court today Jailed Gerhard Polkehn, 28-year-old laborer, for two months, for making anti-Jewish remarks.

The prosecution said that Polkehn, a former Hitler Youth leader, told a city employee he met in a tavern that, in his opinion, not enough Jews had been killed in the gas chambers of the Nazi concentration camps.
