The Warning Legacy of Prisoner No. 14354 Book Presentation and Reading: “KZ-Dachau Prisoner Number 14354” – Dr. Ernst Verdross HALL. On Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 7:00 PM, a book presentation will take place at the former Schneiderkapelle (WIDER.STAND, Franz Reinisch Platz 1). Admission is free, but space is limited. The focus of the evening will be the newly published book *“KZ-Dachau Prisoner Number 14354”* by Elisabeth Walder, which preserves for posterity the shocking contemporary document of Hall NS resistance fighter and jurist Dr. Ernst Verdross (1892–1963). In 1938, the regime-critical Verdross was deported to the Dachau concentration camp, where he was assigned prisoner number 14354. Immediately after liberation in 1945, he wrote the “KZ-Dachau Protocol” – a brutally honest reckoning with the reality of the camp, which specifically urges young people to critically engage with the history of National Socialism. His legacy is the urgent warning: “Such atrocities must never happen again.” The protocol, a central source for Hall's local and resistance history, came into the editor's possession by chance after a lecture and was entrusted to her by the Verdross family for academic processing. The book now published makes this important document of remembrance culture accessible to a broad public for the first time. Program:
