Franz Grassler
Franz Grassler , also Franz Graßler (born January 22, 1912 in Vienna ; † May 28, 1998 ) was a German lawyer and author.
Life
Grassler was assessor for Heinz Auerswald , the German commissioner of the Warsaw ghetto , and his representative.
From 1957, Grassler was a public prosecutor and senior district attorney at the Bavarian Administrative Court in Munich .
The passionate mountaineer and skier was the main editor of the magazines "Der Bergkamerad" and "Der Winter" until 1957 after the Second World War . He played a key role in setting up the Alpine Club Guide at Bergverlag Rother . Grassler worked, among other things, for the mountaineering program for Bayerischer Rundfunk and as a public relations officer for the German Alpine Club . From 1962 to 1971 he was responsible for the library of the German Alpine Club.
In 1982 he worked out the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps (AVE), which was published in 1984 in the Alpine Club Yearbook Berg '84 .
He is interviewed by Claude Lanzmann as a witness from the side of the perpetrators in the film Shoah , where he claims that he can hardly remember. Lanzmann confronts him with passages from the diary of Adam Czerniaków, chairman of the council of elders in the Warsaw ghetto .
His estate is in the archive of the German Alpine Club.
He should not be confused with the mayor of Mauer , Franz Graßler (1857–1934), after whom Franz-Graßler-Gasse in Vienna is named.
