The VENGEFUL Execution Of Rudolf Höss - The Commandant of Auschwitz

One of the greatest crimes in History was the Holocaust, in which millions of people were persecuted by the Nazis during the Second World War. The Germans would focus on exterminating the Jews from Europe, and one of the biggest extermination centres and concentration camps was Auschwitz. Auschwitz would develop over a number of years into a huge site and within it over a million people would be brutally murdered by the Nazi regime.
The commandant and commander of Auschwitz who oversaw much of the mass-murder was Rudolf Höss, who would transform the camp into a huge killing centre, using gas chambers and other ways. Höss was obsessed with developing the most efficient way of mass-murdering a huge amount of people, and Auschwitz was selected as the place where Himmler would encourage the 'Final Solution,' to occur. It was selected due to it's proximity to railway lines, but Höss would oversee the murders of over 1 million Jews and other prisoners. He himself would come up with the gas-chamber methods that became infamous, however Höss was captured.
He was captured by the British and was then even used to take the stand at the Nuremberg Trials, being a defence witness for Ernst Kaltenbrunner. He was then sentenced to death after being found guilty of war crimes in Poland. Ex-prisoners of Auschwitz would petition at Höss, (the former commandant) would be executed inside his own camp. This was granted and Höss was executed inside Auschwitz at the gallows.

I have been to Dachau Prison. Seen the inquisitors chair bolted to the floor, the barracks, the executioners wall, the hooks they hung people from, the ovens, the ash graves of over 20,000 people, the warehouse of suitcases, the paper suit that three prisoners wore. What effected me most of all were the little white shoes with the pink bows thrown on the mountain of shoes that were confiscated. They had to have been worn by a toddler. As an American soldier, I cried.

Back in the early 80s in my teens whilst working in my fathers pub, I briefly met a survivor of Auschwitz once. The reason I knew that was, was as he removed his overcoat I caught a glimpse of the degrading numbered tattoo so painfully scrolled on his left arm as he quickly pulled down the sleeve of his shirt. The gentleman and I both looked at each other for a moment and said nothing but somehow connected. I slowly mouthed Auschwitz, and glanced again at his arm in which he sadly nodded. Immediately I had a lump in my throat and felt a tear in my eye. He ordered his drink as he put his coat down next to the table close to the bar, to which I replied, I’d bring his order to him while he took his seat. As I brought over his drink I politely asked if I could join him to which he said yes. I wanted to apologise for being blunt but he said it was fine and appreciated the gesture. As we began to chat it became apparent that the gentleman was only the only child in his family that survived being cruelly dragged out of their home while the soldiers and SS beat his family into the trucks, all the while laughing and mocking everyone. Then onto the boxcars at the train station waiting in line to be crammed in like sardines. I listened intently as he thought back.... the pain in his eyes was so haunting and painfully sad as he spoke quietly occasionally pausing to sip his vodka and beer chaser. I went behind the bar and poured a house measure and returned meekly to the table and said.On the house sir, hoping it wasn’t an empty gesture as I sat back down. We continued to talk some more and as our conversation continued I mentioned that my father was in the army and stationed in Germany in 1952, and once was ordered to go to Belsen to pick up batteries and on returning to camp saw thousands of refugees on the various roads, in all kinds of dishevelment with all of their possessions with no where to go. He looked at me and sighed, saying that he’d heard of some family friends who were sent there, never to be seen again, in the autumn of 1943 the same year as his family. In January 1945 when the Russians liberated the camp they thought they would all be killed or left to a painful death. On saying this the gentleman arose from his seat reaching for his coat extending his hand in gratitude of Scottish hospitality. We hugged each other and said thanks for our chat, he said it was nice of me to give an old man time respect and empathy to a complete stranger. On leaving he said he was on his way to Glasgow, smiled and was gone. Sadly I can’t remember his name but I’m so glad I briefly met him.😔❤️☮️

By extension you've had a taste of the atrocities that gentle old man was forced to live through. By that you are a much wealthier man for it Most of us only get to read these stories from a magazine article or from a novel. But it is far more real & of deeply disturbing effect coming from a firsthand witness, as it should well be. I was 8 years old when I first began reading of the horrific aftermaths of Hiroshima & Nagasaki through the pages of a multi-issue Time Magazine series. For all of the impact that those full page & double-leaf photos had though, since I was reading that story in print, I still had the convenience of detachment.

I have a problem with the word “Vengeful” being used in the title of these videos. Vengeful implies a lack of justice. These criminals were given trials at which they were allowed to defend themselves. Something their victims weren’t given. Vengeful implies these criminals didn’t deserve the punishments they deserved. They deserved a worse death than mere hanging. But they were let off lightly and simply hanged.

I have watched a number of your videos and i have to say i think you are doing a wonderful job of bringing to the fore front these videos of the atrocities of the nazis during the war. I have subscribed to your channel because of this fact. I am not much of a history buff but my husband is, i am not because of the atrocities against humanity were vast and no one was safe from the nazis. What they did to the prisoners of war was pure evil and what they did to the Jews was beyond evil. The heroes of these camps, the prisoners who held on to life long enough to be liberated were in such poor condition but they are still heroes to me because they were able to tell the liberators of the atrocities they has seen and gone through themselves so the truth can be told to generations in the future so as this will never happen again. History to me is history we can learn from so as it doesn't happen again any where in the world. The nazis executed, beat until death came and took the victim, humiliated prisoners, degraded them, gassed millions worked to death so many prisoners and did in humane experiments on men women and children. This was not a master race this was a master at mass killings on a scale never seen before or since WWII. Thank the Lord for small mercies. I agree that the topic of such a thing is not looked on fondly but these stories need to be told, heroes need to be heard, as well as survivors stories need to be heard, The prisoners of these camps were treated worse than animals what ever they did they did because they had seen what was going to happen if they didn't do what they were told. To execute the soldiers, guards, commanders and camp supervisors and leader of the camps in their own camps was a gesture i can applaud. For the spirits of the dead can witness first hand that justice has been carried out for what was done to them in life. the final judgement is now in the hands of the lord, the father the son and the holy spirit and the three will show no mercy to them and send them to purgatory where they will know the hell they put their prisoner through for themselves. Now the people who died at the hands of these people and i use the word people loosely, can move on and spend eternity in peace. People who say this didn't happen, are delusional, with all the video evidence alone should be proof enough, the one thing i can say about them is they kept excellent records of who died and who lived and the survivors were able to tell their liberators their stories. Now we need to listen to them and make this never happens to anyone else.

The primary source from which the 4 Million number derived was the confession of Rudolf Höss (sometimes spelled Rudolf Hoess) before the International Military Tribunal. Rudolf Höss was the first of three successive commandants of the Auschwitz concentration camp. In the presence of journalists from many countries, Rudolf Höss estimated that of 3 Million people that had been exterminated at Auschwitz under his watch, 2.5 Million had been killed by means of gas chambers. It was established as a" fact" at the Nuremberg Trials that 4 Million people were killed at Auschwitz. To commemorate the number, Polish government installed plaques in front of the Auschwitz Memorial to remind the visitors that 4 Million people were killed there. After the fall of communism in Europe, this number was officially revised and reduced to a million and a half. However according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum website, the total number of people killed at Auschwitz was no more than 1.1 Million. So who is lying those who insisted on the reduction, shoud they be called "revision" shock horror, to today's 25% figure or Rudolf Hoess who, for some reason, "confessod" to many more than is now recognised? There is another possibity, Hoess was persuaded to confess to crimes he had not committed, today's figure of deaths is still greatly inflated and that nobody was gassed there or anywhere else. There is authoritative coroboration for that possbility, the Serge and Beate Klarsfeld Foundation PHDN commissioned Jean-Claude Pressac, a French pharmacist and ardent pro holocaust protagonist, to determine definitively the mechanism of Auschwitz, he concluded, conceeded perhaps, that "at least 95% of Zyclon-B used in the camp was for hygiene purposes", that doesn't mean the 5% was used to kill those so scrupulosuly kept alive but rather he wasn't going to bit the hand that fed him, his book was circulated to very few and then buried.

Rudolf Höss was the first of three successive commandants of the Auschwitz concentration camp. He is often called “the Commandant of Auschwitz,” and the general public knows of him from a book published under the title Commandant in Auschwitz. He appeared before the International Military Tribunal as a witness on 15 April 1946, where his deposition caused a sensation. To the amazement of the defendants and in the presence of journalists from around the world, he confessed to the most frightful crimes that history had ever known. He said that he had personally received an order from Himmler to exterminate the Jews. He estimated that at Auschwitz 3,000,000 people had been exterminated, 2,500,000 of them by means of gas chambers. His confessions were false. They had been extorted from Höss by torture, but it took until 1983 to learn the identity of the torturers and the nature of the tortures they inflicted upon him. The confessions of Rudolf Höss supply the keystone to the theory which maintains that systematic extermination of the Jews, especially by means of homicidal gas chambers, was a historical reality. These confessions consist essentially of four documents which, in chronological order, are the following: 1. A written deposition signed on l4 March (or l5 March?) l946 at 2:30 in the morning; it is an 8-page typed text written in German; I do not think, under normal circumstances, a court in any democracy would agree to take into consideration those pages lacking as they did any heading and any printed administrative reference; and crawling with various corrections, whether typed or handwritten, uninitialled and without a notation at the end of the total number of words corrected or deleted. Höss signed it for the first time after having written: “14.3.46 230.” He signed again after two lines which are supposed to have been handwritten but which were typed, and which say: I have read the above account and confirm that it is corresponding to my own statement and that it was the pure truth. (Official translation.] 3. The spectacular oral deposition, which I have already mentioned, made before the IMT on 15 April 1946, ten days after the writing of document PS-3868. Paradoxically, it was a lawyer for the defense, Kurt Kauffmann, Ernst Kaltenbrunner’s attorney, who had asked for Höss’s appearance. His obvious intention was to show that the person responsible for the presumed extermination was Himmler and not Kaltenbrunner. When it came time for the representative of the prosecution (at that point the American assistant prosecutor, Col. Harlan Amen) to question Höss, he seemed to be reading from the affidavit signed by the latter but, in fact, he was reading excerpts from the “remake.” Col. Amen gave an excuse for not reading paragraph 9 (and, at the same time, paragraph 8). Stopping after reading each excerpt, he asked Höss if that was in fact what he had stated. He received the following responses: “Jawohl,” “Jawohl,” “Jawohl” “Ja, es stimmt,” a two sentence response (containing an obvious error about the Hungarian Jews supposedly having been killed at Auschwitz as early as 1943 even though the first convoy of them did not arrive at Auschwitz until May 2 of 1944), “Jawohl,” “Jawohl,” “Jawohl,” a one-sentence response, “Jawohl,” and “Jawohl.” [IMT, XI, pp. 457-461]. Höss is quoted according to the text of the German-language edition of the IMT series. In a normal murder case there would have been a hundred questions to ask about the extermination and the gas chambers (that is to say about a crime and an instrument of the crime which were without precedent in history), but no one asked those questions. In particular, Colonel Amen did not ask for a single detail nor for any additional information about the frightening text which he had read in the presence of journalists whose stories would make the headlines in newspapers around the world the next day. 4. The texts generally collected under the title Commandant in Auschwitz. Höss is alleged to have written these texts in pencil under the watchful eye of his Polish-Communist jailers, while in a prison at Cracow awaiting his trial. He was condemned to death on 2 April 1947 and hanged at the Auschwitz concentration camp fourteen days later. The world had to wait 11 years, until 1958, for the publication in German of his alleged memoirs. They were edited by the German historian Martin Broszat without regard for scholarly method. Broszat went so far as to suppress several fragments which would have too clearly made it appear that Höss (or his Polish jailers) had offered outrageous statements which would have called into question the reliability of his writings in toto. The four documents that I have just enumerated are closely connected in their origin. Looking at them more closely, there are contradictions among their respective contents, but, for the most part, they are internally consistent. The eight pages of NO-1210 are in a sense summed up in the 2º pages of PS-3868; that latter document served as the central document in the oral testimony before the IMT; and, finally, the memoirs written at Cracow crown the whole. The base and the matrix are thus document NO-1210. It was in the Cracow memoirs, written under the supervision of Polish examining magistrate Jan Sehn, that Höss was to give particulars about how the British had obtained that very first confession.

Great videos. I'm not sure why the narrator keeps using "would" with verbs ("he would reveal") when a simple past tense would do ("he revealed").

[@user-bh4rx8mf8g]

I agree with your sentiment but sadly it isn't really true- the ability to do these unspeakable things is as much a part of the human condition as the ability to do wonderful acts of charity. Some of the perpetrators of these crimes got themselves absolutely blind drunk before doing it- drinking was the only way to numb the pain of their enormities. No doubt many of them developed PTSD from their actions. Many others, like Amon Goeth, positively revelled in it. Sadly, evil is a large part of humanity. God creates us beautiful in His own image but the devil can corrupt us.

[@pamtnman1515]

@@user-bh4rx8mf8g people worshiping the Nazis and hating his innocent victims is not satan, it is a willful act of stupidity. Hitler’s Nazis destroyed the flower of Western Civilization when they took Germany down with them. Anyone today who believes it’s worth it to repeat that same failure with America is not just evil, they are the enemy of all that is good. What really bothers me is the Nazis did not focus on a couple hundred bankers, they hunted down, shot, gassed, and incinerated millions of poor, powerless peasants whose total life savings were the chickens scratching in their back yard. These peasants happened to have the “wrong” religion. That was their sole “crime.” Yet this same Nazi thinking persists today.

[@pamtnman1515]

@@user-bh4rx8mf8g and another thing: the Nazis were never victims. Who cares if they each had ptsd from massacring hundreds of innocent children every day? What the hell is your point here? That we should feel sorry for the sad Nazi child rapists and murderers? What the hell is wrong with you?

[@ricardoalves5488]

It hurts even more to know, in the present days, there are people who aprove those crimes against humanity and campaign to get to power and do it all over again. And the saddiest is, many people praise them and support them and, if possible, they vote for them and elect them to get on power. Even young people who perhaps never learned history and don't know what it was like those days. Very sad.

@Max Crosswind I wondered when someone would connect with today's Covid events. Yes you are right the similarities are there. The hysterical attacks on those who don't want toxic injections, the segregation by wearing identification badges and maybe the introduction of vax passports. Of all the countries to be the most vicious in this attitude ironically its Israel. They say what goes around comes around. History repeats itself.
