Heinrich Baab (27 July 1908 – 23 May 2001) was a secretary and Gestapo chief of Frankfurt at the Lindenstraße station.
After the war in Europe ended, Heinrich Baab received a sentence of life imprisonment in March 1950 for his involvement in the Final Solution as the head of Division IIB2.
[1][2][3][4][5] [6][7] Hermann Schramm, a German tenor who sang at the Frankfurt Opera, was a witness to the arrest of a Jewish woman caught with a tramway ticket in her handbag - evidence of her using public transport.
Schramm attempted to intervene and was repeatedly struck in the face by Baab, but not arrested himself.
[8] The Baab trial in Frankfurt was described by American journalist Kay Boyle in an article in The New Yorker, later also published as an introduction to her story collection The Smoking Mountain.
