| Description |
Relates that in the village of Zepling (in Romanian, Dedrad), northern Transylvania, the Jewish tradesmen and local peasants were on good terms until 1943. In 1936 however, when Holzträger was nine years old, he was mistaken for a Jew and badly beaten by four local youths. His mother then taught him that the Jews were responsible for Christ’s crucifixion by the age of 11 he was a virulent antisemite, as was most of the Christian population. At his gymnasium, the curriculum included racial antisemitism. The Evangelist Church supported the Nazi Party. In the media the Jews were portrayed as conspirators. In mid-1944 the Jews were deported to Auschwitz, where most of them were gassed. The non-Jewish population claimed that they did not know about the atrocities being carried out against the Jews. Holzträger refutes this, as he himself heard reports as early as 1942. Towards the end of the war, Holzträger grasped the evil of Nazism and fled with his family to upper Austria.
