Abstract

Class Justice in Germany
Fischer, Louis | June 3, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

Legal justice in Germany is class justice. In Moscow a member of the bourgeoisie and a member of the proletariat commit the same crime. The worker receives the lesser punishment. In Germany Chancellor Adolf Hitler arranges a putsch and the Communists plan an insurrection. E.J. Gumbel, a well-known German pacifist, in a painfully exact and detailed book called "Four Years of Political Murder," gives some illuminating figures on the class standards of German justice. In their propaganda literature the Communists claim 7,000 political prisoners in Germany. This figure is an exaggeration. However, there are between 3,000 and 4,000 already sentenced and approximately 1,000 awaiting trial.
