I am interested in more information about:

"Die letzte Hinrichtung auf österreichischem Staatsgebiet wurde im Februar 1955 vollzogen. Sie erfolgte nach alliiertem Recht durch die amerikanische Besatzungsmacht wurde an einem Lageraufseher des KZ Mauthausen vollzogen."

"The last execution on Austrian territory was completed in February 1955.It came after Allied law by the American occupying power was fully implemented on a camp of Mauthausen concentration camp guard."

Who was this man??? In which place the trial took place???

and

“…vier österreichischen Polizeibeamten erläutert, die wegen ihrer Verbrechen im Ghetto von Minsk kurz nach Kriegsende zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet .“
"... four Austrian police officers were sentenced to death and executed for their crimes in the ghetto of Minsk, shortly after the war."

[Grisu]

Good question - what I remember is only that he was a Mauthausen guard and that he was hanged... maybe someone can shed some light on that.

I am interested in more information about this men:

Karl Wittig
a subcommander at Mauthausen
after the liberation of the camp ultimately hanged at the camp

Franz Unek
30.11.1897
chief Kapo at Mauthausen
after the liberation of the camp he was hanged at Mauthausen after 10.07.1945

Anton Hornacek
25.05.1900 in Rabensburg
Lagerältester St. Aegyd
Hanged after Liberation

[Grisu]

Unek, a criminal from Vienna and "Blockältester", is mentioned in Marsalek's "Die Geschichte des Konzentrationslagers Mauthausen".

[Grisu]

And Google also came up with "Dachauer Hefte" 1986, vol. 2 pp. 123 + 139, re: Unek.

[ansata1976]

How many death sentences were carried out in the "Französischen Besatzungszone" and the "US-Amerikanischen Besatzungszone" until 1955 (Lagerleiter des KZ Mauthausen - Februar 1955) ??? Is there a list of cases or names???

[ansata1976]

Good question - what I remember is only that he was a Mauthausen guard and that he was hanged... maybe someone can shed some light on that.

Why this is so difficult to find the name???? Are there no lists or documents about this trial and other trials until 1955????

[ansata1976]

Johann Brandner
Nikolaus Pichler
Alois Frühwirt
