    1. Proces Eichmann

    Rapport van de SD-afdeling Steiermark aan de SD te Wenen over een protestactie te Graz tijdens de Kristallnacht. De SD en de Gestapo te Graz waren van te voren niet op de hoogte, SA en Gauleitung wel. Een telegram over de aanstaande protestactie kwam pas middernacht bij de Gestapo binnen.

De inventaris kon niet gered worden, wel de diverse kartotheken uit het 'Amtshaus' en de geldvoorraad. Alles is bij de Gestapo afgeleverd. In de daaropvolgende nacht w...

Niet geüniformeerde SS- en SA- leden bestormden en verwoestten de synagoge en arresteerden jonge Joden, waarbij mishandelingen voorkwamen. Pas later begon de actie van de Gestapo en de SD, waardoor nog veel meer arrestaties volgden. Economische schade is er nauwelijks uit voortgekomen, omdat de Joden op dit gebied al uitgeschakeld waren. Daarentegen remt de actie de verdrijving, die door toedoen van Eichmann's aanwijzingen anders op 31 dec. 1938 in Stiermarken voltooid was geweest. Nu zijn...
