Gustav Richter

Gustav Richter (12 November 1913 – c.1982) was an aide to Nazi Adolf Eichmann, a Judenberater, during World War II.

Richter was born in 1913 and he received a law degree (died about 1982).

Richter was a devoted Nazi. He was a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi Party) and he joined the elite SS (Schutzstaffel).

In April 1941, Richter was sent to Bucharest, Romania, as the adviser on Jewish Affairs. He collaborated closely with the German Ambassador to Romania, Manfred Freiherr von Killinger.

After visiting Berlin in September 1941, Richter returned to Romania, where he was until August 1944. It was Richter who insisted on the reintroduction of repressive measures. On 3 September 1941, it was by his order that wearing the yellow badge was re-endorsed.

Richter's primary task was to take a census of all the Jews in Romania. He planned the ghettoization and ultimate extermination of 300,000 Romanian Jews, after their deportation to the Belzec extermination camp in occupied Poland. His other task was to prevent even the emigration of Jewish children from Romania to British mandate Palestine (region)|Palestine]].

On 22 July 1942, Richter received permission from both Romania's Conducator (head of state) Ion Antonescu and Foreign Minister Mihai Antonescu, to deport the Romanian Jews to Belzec. However, while hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed in Romania, in general, Richter's plan to deport them to Belzec fell through.
