What does provocation have to do with National Socialism?

Violence and provocation was a way for the NSDAP and its organisations to conquer the streets. In May 1932, the workers in the once „red“ community of Hötting saw it as a provocation when the NSDAP held an event in the „Goldener Bär“ inn. A violent confrontation ensued. One SA man died and several people were injured. The „Höttinger Saalschlacht“ is still the subject of controversy today.
One of the protagonists was the communist Thusnelda Bucher. She also opposed the Nazi event and suffered an injury in the process. She was left with a scar on her forehead
She was committed to a just society and actively opposed fascism and National Socialism. After the Anschluss in 1938, she was deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp. She survived and resumed her political work in the communist party in Innsbruck.

We have a responsibility to remember the history of resistance and to stand up for a society based on solidarity.
