A 26-year-old Polish student at a polytechnic institute, Julian Dominiak, was sentenced to seven months’ imprisonment for telling a Jew “Hitler had done well by murdering the Jews,” according to a Warsaw dispatch received here today.
A Polish District Court at Zombkowitz found the man guilty, after several other Poles testified they had heard him glorifying the Nazi regime and making anti-Semitic remarks, the dispatch reported. Dominiak told the court he was drunk when he uttered the anti-Semitic remarks, and had already apologized to the Jew he had insulted.
