Rudolf Hoss has been called the greatest mass murderer in history.
As the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz, he supervised the
killing of more than 1.1 million people. Unlike many of his Nazi
colleagues who denied either knowing about or participating in the
Holocaust, Hoss remorselessly admitted, both at the Nuremberg war
crimes trial and in his memoirs, that he sent hundreds of thousands
of Jews to their deaths in the gas chambers, frankly describing the
killing process. His "innovations" included the use of hydrogen
cyanide (derived from the pesticide Zyklon B) in the camp's gas
chambers. Hoss lent his name to the 1944 operation that gassed
430,000 Hungarian Jews in 56 days, exceeding the capacity of the
Auschwitz's crematoria. This biography follows Hoss throughout his
life, from his childhood through his Nazi command and eventual
reckoning at Nuremberg. Using historical records and Hoss'
autobiography, it explores the life and mind of one of history's
most notorious and sadistic individuals.
