Bruno Groppo, "The Schafranek Case" : An Historian before the Bar
Since 1991, the Austrian historian Hans Schafranek is the object of a legal action that concerns all historians of modern history. Author of a book about the deportation from the Soviet Union of hundreds of German and Austrian antifascists to Nazi Germany between 1937 and 1941, he has been brought to court and convicted of using archival documents open to any researcher, documents calling into question a political official who, previously, hotly denied that the deportations took place. Even the decision of the court of appeals, favorable to the defendant, in part of a dangerous precedent with respect to the freedom to do research and publish in the field of contemporary history. The scientific community in Germany and Austria has mobilized in defense of Schafranek and this freedom to do research. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
