Walter Porges
Dr. Walter Porges, a general practitioner in Spittal, highly decorated „Defense Fighter“, social democratic town councillor lost his approbationafter the „Anschluss“. Patients with little civil courage avoided his practice, others stopped paying their invoices and became so passive complices of the NS - regime. Deported in 1943, Porges became a victim of the Holocaust in Auschwitz.	Quelle/Vir: Slg. A. E.	Der Spittaler Arzt, hochdekorierte Abwehrkämpfer und sozialdemokratische Gemeinderat Dr. Walter Porges verlor nach dem "Anschluss" seine Approbation. Aus mangelnder Zivilcourage mieden Patienten seine Praxis, zahlten ihre Schulden nicht mehr und machten sich auf diese Weise zu passiven Komplizen des NS-Regimes. Im Jahr 1941 verhaftet, wurde Porges in Auschwitz ein Opfer des Holocaust.
Antisemitism After the “Anschluss” the persecution of Jews was not only propagated with all possible means but became also a constituting principle of NS policies. Not without a shameful passivity and tolerance by indifferent supporters the Austrian Jews were step by step excluded from law. Jews were not permitted to wear the local costumes like “Dirndl”, “Lederhosen” and the carinthian suit, Jews were not permitted in public baths and parks. The 269 Jewish community in Carinthia were successively excluded from normal life: Civil servants were dismissed, lawyers and physicians discharged from their professional chambers. The official introduction of Nuremberg race laws in Austria in May 1938 “legitimated” a great number of rules that enabled the economic plundering of Jews. The “Arisierung” of Jewish property was accomplished with the “Vermögensverkehrsstelle” in Klagenfurt with the aid of local banking institutes. The first culminating point of antisemitic agitation were the outrageous assaults and plundering in the “Reichskristallnacht” in November 1938. The total extermination of Jews was promoted not without an advancement of carinthian NS – protagonists (first of them Odilo Globocnik) to servile executors of a perverted vision of races. An uncompleted list indicates that 48 carinthian Jews were victims of this total extermination.		Antisemitismus Nach dem "Anschluss" wurde die Judenverfolgung nicht nur propagandistisch auf jede erdenkliche Art gefördert, sondern zugleich zu einem bestimmenden Prinzip der NS-Politik erhoben. Nicht ohne beschämende Passivität und Duldung durch ein indifferentes Mitläufertum wurde das österreichische Judentum Schritt für Schritt unter Ausnahmerecht gestellt. Die antisemitischen Maßnahmen begannen mit symbolischen Diskriminierungen (Verbot, die Landestracht, Dirndl, Lederhose, besonders aber den Kärntner Anzug zu tragen). Juden war es untersagt, öffentliche Badeanstalten zu besuchen und Parkanlagen zu benutzen. Sukzessiv wurde die 269 Personen zählende jüdische Gemeinde in Kärnten aus dem normalen Leben hinausgedrängt; als Beamte entlassen, als Rechtsanwälte und Ärzte aus den Kammern geworfen. Die formelle Einführung der Nürnberger Rassengesetze in Österreich im Mai 1938 "legitimierte" eine Vielzahl von Bestimmungen zur wirtschaftlichen Ausplünderung der Juden. Die "Arisierung" des jüdischen Besitzes wickelte die Vermögensverkehrsstelle in Klagenfurt unter Mithilfe lokaler Bankinstitute ab. Erster Höhepunkt antisemitischer Hetze waren die Ausschreitungen und Plünderungen anlässlich der "Reichskristallnacht" im November 1938. Bei der Massenvernichtung der Juden avancierten auch Kärntner NS-Protagonisten (allen voran Odilo Globo?nik) zu servilen Exekutoren einer pervertierten Rassenvision. Einer unvollständigen Liste zufolge fielen 48 Kärntner Juden dieser Massenvernichtung zum Opfer.
