Franz Novak (1913–1983)
Collaborator in the organisation of expropriation, expulsion and the Shoah in Vienna, Prague and Budapest
Franz Novak began as Adolf Eichmann’s assistant in Vienna and followed him to Prague and Berlin. As “transport advisor” he organized deportations to concentration and death camps all across Europe—including the one in Malý Trostinec. He ordered train cars, worked out time schedules and oversaw the entire deportation operations. After three protracted trials he was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in 1973, on grounds of his refusal to provide food during the deportations – not because of his role in mass murder. A Presidential pardon enabled him to be released early.
