The event is part of the KBW digital series and addresses the relevance of the Night of Broken Glass.

Historical Crimes and Open Questions

The Oktoberfest attack in 1980 resulted in the deaths of 13 people. For a long time, the act was presented as the work of a confused lone perpetrator. Chaussy's years of research contributed to the reopening of investigations and increased focus on the connections to the anti-Semitic double murder of Frida Poeschke and Shlomo Lewin in Erlangen.
