Alfred Slawik

Alfred Slawik (born October 20, 1913 in Vienna ; † May 11, 1973 ibid) was an Austrian SS Oberscharführer (1943) and employee of the Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Vienna , which was practically subordinate to the Eichmann department in the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA). Slawik was involved in the deportation of Jews from Vienna, Slovakia , Greece and Hungary to the extermination camps .

Life

Slawik, Selcher by profession , was a member of the NSDAP and SS, which were banned in Austria at that time , even before Austria was annexed to the German Reich . From the beginning of February 1939 he worked at the Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Vienna, where he initially performed security and telephone duties. From October 1939 he accompanied deportation transports of Jews to Nisko . After that, Slawik was temporarily a supervisor in the Vienna retraining camps Doppl and Sandhof, which were attached to the central office .

From the spring of 1942 Slawik was a member of a command under Dieter Wisliceny in Slovakia , which organized the deportation of the Jews there to the extermination camps. From spring 1943 Slawik was in the same position in Saloniki and from autumn / winter 1943 in Athens, also under Wisliceny, as a member of deportation commands. After that, Slawik was still a member of the Eichmann Special Command in Budapest from March to December 1944 . There he was involved in the deportation of the Hungarian Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp .

Towards the end of April 1945 Slawik arrived in the Salzkammergut together with Adolf Eichmann , Anton Burger , Otto Hunsche , Franz Novak and Richard Hartenberger . In early May 1945 they hid boxes of unknown content there - probably looted gold and other assets - and went into hiding . Together with Novak and Hartenberger, Slawik fled to Braunau am Inn , where they worked incognito as servants on an agricultural estate near Burgkirchen .

In Mauerkirchen Slawik was arrested in 1946 and was for a short time in the detention camp Glasbach detained. He was extradited to the Austrian judiciary by the CIC in March 1947. Due to abuse and his involvement in the deportations, Slawik was sentenced on September 20, 1949 to five years of heavy imprisonment in the event of financial collapse. By taking into account the imprisonment served since September 1946, he was released from prison in May 1950. He then worked as a magazine master in Vienna. In the course of the Eichmann trial , Slawik again attracted the attention of the judiciary. Slavik was taken into custody in June 1961 on the basis of charges of having committed a murder of a Jewish prisoner in Budapest together with Eichmann . Since the testimony of the witnesses was contradicting itself and, in the opinion of the public prosecutor's office, offered little prospect of conviction, the trial dropped and Slawik was released from prison in February 1962. Nothing is known about his further life.
