Der Wulkower Kollaborateur vor dem Außerordentlichen Volksgericht in Prag
The Collaborator from Wolkow on Trial at the Extraordinary People's Court in Prague

Summary/Abstract: The article at hand follows the biography of Paul Raphaelson of Mönchengladbach. A Jewish widower of an intermarriage, he was deported as a middle-aged man to Theresienstadt. He spent over a year in the Wulkow branch camp, functioning as a much feared capo. After the war, German and Czech survivors had him arrested, tried, and sentenced to death in one of the Czechoslovak retribution trials. The „collaborator“ Raphaelson remains an ardently hated figure, perhaps more than the SS, whose juridical punishment was much milder.
