Abstract:
Describing the events of the "Kristallnacht" in Innsbruck, emphasizes the role of Gauleiter Franz Hofer in the organization and execution of the pogrom. Three Jews were murdered, others were physically attacked and their property destroyed. A special group of fanatic SS members, led by Hans Aichinger, were told to appear in civilian clothes and destroy the houses on a list which was given to them. Jewish men were sent to a concentration camp and released only for emigration. Franz Hofer endeavored to make the Tyrol "Judenrein" by March 1939. Criticizes the indifferent behavior of the Austrian population.
