Rolf Vogel (born September 3, 1921 in Berlin-Charlottenburg ; † September 16, 1994 in Bonn ) was a German journalist whose work was particularly devoted to German-Israeli relations.

Life

Rolf Vogel was the son of the journalist and KPD member Kurt Vogel. He graduated from high school in Berlin in 1939 and was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1940 . There, in the summer of 1940, the persons categorized as half-Jews under the Nuremberg Laws were dismissed as unworthy of defense. Vogel was enrolled with Emil Dovifat as a student of newspaper studies in Berlin, while his mother was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto . Vogel moved to Württemberg , where he was sent to a mixed-race labor camp. He was connected to the German resistance. He often reported on the attitude of Josef Wimmer and Clemens August Graf von Galen and paid tribute to the human decency of Hans Fritzsche , who took care of Vogel's mother.

After the Second World War, Vogel was a reporter for the Nuremberg Trials . Between 1956 and 1959 he worked as a Bonn correspondent for Radio Saarbrücken . At that time he spoke out in favor of the Saarland being reintegrated into the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1959 he became deputy head of the Bonn office of the European Community .

In 1955 he produced the film Israel - Land of Hope on behalf of the Federal Press Office and in 1958 with Axel Springer the documentary film Paradies und Feuerofen, made by Herbert Viktor .

Based on the statements of Max Merten in a trial in Athens , Fritz Bauer opened an investigation against Hans Globke in June 1960 . In 1961 Walter Heynowski made the documentary AKTION J , which made an agreement between Globke and the Swiss authorities the subject of the film. Konrad Adenauer hired Vogel from the Federal Intelligence Service to exonerate Hans Globke in the proceedings against Adolf Eichmann . Vogel stated that he had often spoken to Otto Lenz about Globke's work. From these conversations he knew that Globke's activity was aimed at bringing help and relief to the first-degree mongrels as much as possible with the help of his commentary. Vogel was accredited as a journalist for the " Deutsche Zeitung " from Cologne in the Eichmann trial . On June 29, 1961, Vogel and Frank Lynder broke into Friedrich Karl Kaul's room in the King David Hotel and stole documents; These included powers of attorney for victims of the Auschwitz concentration camp to appear as joint plaintiffs in the Eichmann trial. The Federal Intelligence Service checked whether this would be stolen goods if the documents were offered to Kaul for sale.

Konrad Adenauer's specialist for Israel contacts, Vogel, accompanied Franz Josef Strauss to Lod in May 1963 .

Vogel was the editor of the Germany reports as a public relations worker for the federal government.

Honors

The Central Council of Jews awarded Vogel the Leo Baeck Prize in 1971 . In 1976 he received the Saarland Order of Merit .
