An unidentified member of the International Club, an organization ordered dissolved some time ago by the authorities, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment yesterday for alleging, in the course of a conversation that Jews were still being subjected to mass arrests and carried away in trucks, with only one in ten surviving the experience. He is also charged with saying that a rabbi was tortured, his beard pulled out and his fingers chopped off his hands.
