  • Rudolf Kalmar (18 September 1900 – 18 January 1974) was an Austrian journalist and author. After 1945 Kalmar wrote and published several books on his experiences as a concentration camp inmate during more than seven years. They read as a series of reports produced by an experienced political journalist, and that is what they were. Commentators at the time were frequently struck by the way in which, while never shrinking from contextualising the concentration camp atrocities in terms of the atrocities perpetrated by the German authorities and camp guards, Kalmar also took care to focus also on positive aspects of the concentration camp experience, notably on the ways in which camp inmates looked after each other and, even among those set in authority over them, there were examples to be found of simple unthinking human solidarity. Critics have commended the power of the sheer objectivity of Kalmar’s reports of concentration camp life. Along with this went a powerful determination, throughout almost three decades during which Kalmar lived on as a well-known concentration camp survivor, that the lessons of Austria’s seven years as an increasingly well integrated component state of Germany under (“Nazism”) should be forgotten. The first and best known of Kalmar’s books on the concentration camps, “Zeit ohne Gnade” (‘’loosely, ””Merciless times’’), appeared in 1946. (en)
