Alexander Palfinger

Alexander Palfinger was the deputy to Hans Biebow, the German administrative director of the Lodz Ghetto. Due to differences with Biebow, who advocated the transformation of the Ghetto into a slave labor factory in exchange for little food, Palfinger asserting instead "a rapid dying out" of the Ghetto inhabitants,^[1] he left to work at the Transferstelle in the Warsaw Ghetto. This agency was in charge of the traffic of goods entering and leaving the ghetto. He was succeeded by Max Georg Bischof. "Given the mentality of the Jews," he argued, only the "most extreme exigency" would force them to part with their hidden valuables in return for food.^[2]^[3]
