What is St. Gallen?

St. Gallen is a large town located in Switzerland near the Austrian border. It is where Paul Gruninger lived with his family and worked as the local head of state police. It is to St. Gallen that numerous Jewish refugees either travelled, were guided, or were sent, so that they might in turn be helped by Gruninger. Gruninger was fired for his efforts, and spent the rest of his life trying to find work, largely shunned and ignored by the Swiss residents of St. Gallen.
