Pavel Altschul (born May 17, 1900 in Česká Lípa , Austria-Hungary ; died August 18, 1944 in the Theresienstadt ghetto ) was a Czech journalist, editor and photographer.
Life
From 1933 to 1939, Pavel Altschul was editor and publisher of the Světozor magazine . He wrote reports on the social effects of the Great Depression , on National Socialist Germany and on the Moscow trials . Even after the German occupation of the Czech Republic in March 1939, articles and pictures were still published in Světozor , which gave the attentive reader a view of the political situation that was resistant to official propaganda. Instead of initiating police measures against the popular magazine, the Czech collaboration administration preferred to have the magazine taken over by Orbis-Verlag in the summer of 1940, and thus also to get rid of the "non-Aryan publisher".
Altschul then wrote for the resistance newspaper V boj . He was arrested and deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto , where he died of prison conditions in 1944.
