On the Remembrance Day of the November pogroms, Harald Walser examines the role of Dornbirn police officers during National Socialism. Insights from the book "Mitläufer, Täter, Opfer" and connections to the exhibition "HITLER'S EXECUTIVE".
On the occasion of the memorial day for the National Socialist November pogroms, Harald Walser's lecture focuses on the role of Dornbirn's gendarmes during National Socialism. The main focus is on the biographies of post commander Hugo Lunardon and his deputy Franz Walch, whose involvement in the Nazi system is documented in the book "Mitläufer, Täter, Opfer" ("Bystanders, Perpetrators, Victims"). The work was created alongside the traveling exhibition "HITLER'S EXECUTIVE. The Austrian police and National Socialism" and sheds light on the ambivalent stance of the Vorarlberg executive authorities between 1938 and 1945.
The lecture connects local history with supraregional research questions and addresses the responsibility of state institutions during the Nazi era. The exhibition, which opens on the same day, deepens this perspective with additional case studies and historical documents.
