True stories
Die Ermittlung. Die wahre Geschichte einer deutsch/jüdischen Familie aus Hamburg
Aus dem Schwedischen von Paul Berf
by Wächter, Torkel S.
Description
On January the 30th in 1933 a German Jewish civil servant sits in his office in the finance authority in the Baumeister Street in down/town Hamburg. Adolf Hitler was just appointed Reich Chancellor.
In the beginning it seems as if this appointment would not influence the civil servant Gustav Wächter noteworthy. But soon the Reichstag in Berlin is burning and the changes follow one another. At first the employment ban for Jews mainly concerns his sons. Gustav Wächter has been working for the finance authority for too long to get dismissed as prescribed by the new law concerning the “Aryanization”. To get rid of him, a couple of his colleges write an anonymous letter with accusations against him which leads to an investigation.
This investigation can still be reconstructed with the still existing file in the Hamburger Record Office. It displays a unique contemporary document. This book is based on the unpublished documents: Here Gustav Wächter and his colleges defend and accuse each other in their own words. The reader gets to meet convinced National Socialists and opportunists, but also the close friends of the Wächters.
