Josef Schoenen, the 25-year-old German youth who desecrated the Cologne synagogue last Christmas eve and thereby touched off the daubing of swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans on Jewish institutions and public places in many countries, was re-arrested today a month after he had served his sentence in Jail for last year’s anti-Semitic act.
The German youth was re-arrested, together with another German youth, Willi Nickel, when they were both caught smearing swastikas and anti-Jewish inscriptions. Schoenen was employed as a sales clerk in a local store after he was released from jail a month ago.
