#austrian #jew - born in Prague
Robert REICH (born June 18, 1882 in Prague; † May 1944 in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp) was an Austrian filmmaker of Bohemian origin (film manager, cameraman, director, producer, production manager, screenwriter, film architect), publicist and association official.
After Austria had been annexed to the German Reich in March 1938, the Jewish film salesman quickly lost all of his positions and was no longer allowed to continue working as a producer.
An attempt to leave Yugoslavia at the beginning of 1940 failed; in September of the same year, Reich was arrested for alleged foreign exchange offenses and sentenced to ten months in prison.
After his early release in July 1941, the Gestapo arrested Robert Reich on September 2, 1941. The charge this time: listening to enemy radio stations and disseminating foreign news information. For this offense he received a five-month prison sentence on March 28, 1942. On January 5, 1943, German authorities deported Robert Reich to the Theresienstadt ghetto. On May 18, 1944, as part of a so-called “beautification and depopulation measure” of Theresienstadt, the camp management there ordered his transfer to Auschwitz, where Reich was probably gassed shortly after his arrival.

Their so-called „Anklageschrift/indictment“ - (these perfidious accusations prove once again how inhumane and totalitarian the so-called (Nazi) jurisprudence was back then…)
