On November 30, 1995, Swiss policeman Grüninger, who was convicted of saving Jews, was cleared for his injustice
Thirty years ago today, on November 30, 1995 (October 9, 1995 in the lunar calendar), Swiss policeman Grüninger, who was convicted of saving Jews, was cleared of his injustice. On November 30, 1995, Swiss police officer Grüninger, who was convicted of saving Jews 55 years ago, was rehabilitated by a Swiss court. When Paul Grüninger was the police chief of the Canton of Saint-Gallen in Switzerland from 1938 to 1939, he ignored his personal safety and allowed Jews without visas to escape into Switzerland. This was a violation of the Swiss ban at the time. After Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany, the Swiss authorities blocked the border and prevented Jews without visas from fleeing to Switzerland. The number of Jews rescued by Gruningel is no longer measurable, ranging from hundreds to thousands. When the matter was discovered, he forged documents saying that the men had entered Switzerland before the Swiss authorities issued an ban. In the spring of 1939, he was dismissed from his post and later dismissed without receiving a pension. In 1940, he was fined by the court for abuse of power and forging documents. In 1972, the old man died unjustly. In 1993, relevant departments restored his political reputation. He is known as Switzerland's "Schindler". On November 27, 1995, dozens of uninvited guests came to the court of the canton of St. Gallen in northern Switzerland. They were all Jewish refugees during World War II. They asked the court to reopen the unjust case 55 years ago to avenge their savior Grüninger.
