Chapters: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Henry Dunant, David Frankfurter. Excerpt: David Frankfurter (July 9, 1909 - July 19, 1982) is best known for assassinating Swiss Nazi leader Wilhelm Gustloff in 1936. Born in Daruvar, former Austria-Hungary, today's Croatia, Frankfurter was the son of the town's rabbi Moshe (Moritz) Frankfurter and the mother Rebekka, (ne Pagel) . He was a sickly child and suffered an incurable periostitis for which he underwent seven operations between the ages of six and twenty-three, but his doctors feared he would not live a normal lifespan. After completing his basic education he began a study of medicine, for which he traveled to Vienna, Leipzig and Frankfurt . The rise of Nazi power in Germany compelled him to relocate to Switzerland to continue his studies, and he settled in Bern in 1934. Having become convinced of the danger posed by the Nazis, Frankfurter kept an eye on Gustloff, head of the Foreign Section of the Nazi party in Switzerland, (NSDAP ) who ordered the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to be published in Switzerland. This culminated in the assassination which occurred in Davos on February 4, 1936. Frankfurter found Gustloff's address in a simple phonebook and on that day went to the Gustloff's home; Gustloff's wife, Hedwig Gustloff, received him and showed him into the study, asking him to wait since her husband was on the telephone but would be with him presently. When Gustloff, who was in the adjoining room, entered his office where Frankfurter was sitting opposite a picture of Hitler, Frankfurter shot him five times in the head, neck and chest; he left the premises (according to Heinz Schn, while hearing Hedwig Gustloff's cries), went into the next house and asked to use the telephone. He rang the police and confessed to the murder. Immedia...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
