New edition of "Advokaten 1938" sheds light on the fates of the Nazi era
This second edition of "Advokaten 1938" for the first time contains not only the biographies of lawyers but also of the many trainee lawyers who were deprived of their livelihoods or whose lives were eradicated. And it also speaks about the lives and the work of others, who either returned to Austria and resumed practising the legal profession or those who were able to acquire a qualification to practice the same or a similar profession abroad.
By means of this book the Austrian Bar Organisations would like to remember the fates of 2,200 Austrian lawyers and trainee lawyers who experienced the most horrible things under the Nazi regime in Austria . A remembrance that is not only dedicated to dealing with the immensely negative aspects of recent Austrian history but that is meant to keep the memory of these Austrian lawyers and trainee lawyers alive.
The academic contributions of the authors Professor Dr. Ilse Reiter-Zatloukal (Vienna Faculty of Law) and historian Dr. Barbara Sauer in this second edition of "Advokaten 1938" present their recent research findings and thus provide new insights. This second edition of "Advokaten 1938" is published solely in English to allow all around the globe who wish to preserve the memory of the victims to understand their fates and the history behind everyone.
Dr. Alix Frank-Thomasser is initiator of the book and, as chairwoman of the editorial board, significantly involved in its creation: "It seems comparatively easy to express the history of the Austrian legal profession 1938-1945 in anonymised figures. That is not what happened here. With this reappraisal, a personal commemoration was made possible for the first time."
