Legacy
Several books were written about the Gustloff assassination. The Graubünden canton government rescinded the order of no-entry in September 1969.
Frankfurter published two memoirs. The first in German called Rache ("revenge") and the second in English called The first fighter against Nazism.
Frankfurter's assassination of Gustloff is the subject of the 1975 Swiss movie Assassination in Davos which gives a good account of the events with much of the film devoted to the subsequent trial. The movie ends with actual footage of David Frankfurter living in Israel.
After World War II Frankfurter was elected an honorary citizen of Switzerland, in Israel he has been hailed as a hero, and after his death the streets of several cities and parks were named after him.
