Description
The Commandant of Auschwitz is a unique and powerful account of one of the most infamous figures of the Holocaust. Rudolf Hoess, the commander of Auschwitz from 1940 to 1943, provides a firsthand and administrator's perspective on the atrocities committed at the camp. Hoess's memoir was written during his trial and execution, and it is a testament to his willingness to tell the truth about his role in the Nazi regime. The book offers a vivid and unforgettable self-portrait of a man who was responsible for the deaths of over three million people. A portion of the royalties from this book go to support the survivors of the Auschwitz camps, making it a historically important and morally significant work.
