Hitler was left wing just like his homosexual friend Ernst Rohm. The Nuremburg Laws were written by the Left Wing Liberal Arts Academics which was the beginning of the Holocaust.. The Right Wing was Franz Van Pappen. Like left wing lunatics of today, they were extreme socialists, art school dropouts, they hated the rich, capitalism, Christianity and Judaism while befriending Mooslims. At Nuremburg, the right wing element was acquitted. The Left Wing element was sentenced to death. Get your facts straight.

When I was a young man, in the 80's, I served with the US Army's 11th ACR in West Germany patrolling the Inter-German border. At the time, our command required every one of us who were new to Germany to visit Dachau. Now, Dachau was a work camp, not an extermination camp like Auschwitz was, but it was nevertheless one of the experiences that stuck with me the most in Germany. The docents walked us through the camp, showing us the displays and answering our questions in a dry, factual manner. There was almost no hyperbole in it at all, just a recitation of facts and figures. At the end of the tour, we were allowed to walk around the camp area for about 20 minutes or so, talking among ourselves. When we got back to the gates, the head docent told us, 'I will now ask you a question, but only answer to yourself. What do you think about all this?' He then turned his back and walked back into the 'Arbeit macht Frei' gates and closed them as we got back on the buses. When we got back, we were all taken to the unit day room and watched a video from the Regimental Colonel. In it, he said, "There is real evil in the world. There, just across the border that you'll soon be patrolling, is evil. Those guard towers, those minefields, that barbed wire isn't there to keep NATO out, but to keep the peoples of Eastern Europe in. Those towers aren't even manned by soldiers of the Soviet or DDR or Czechoslovakian armies. They're manned by Internal Security troops. And make no mistake, there are concentration camps in the Soviet Union today. They call them 'gulags'. Our fathers and grandfathers did a legendary job putting an end to Nazism, but the job isn't done yet. That job falls to you."

“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” -Primo Levi This is an extraordinarily well done documentary of the “Death Dealer” of Auschwitz. What drives my interest in the horrors of the Holocaust is a need to understand how ordinary men could become killers. I’ve accepted that I’ll probably never fully understand it, but I have a huge appreciation for documentaries like this that offer valuable insights into the perpetrators.

That was nothing more than Hoes's way to somehow extricate himself from the evil he knowingly perpetrataded. He was a convinced and rabid antisemite who hated almost everyone.

Read the Hoess autobiography that goes into further extensive detail. His villa at Auschwitz is "outside" the camp behind a row of trees, yet has a direct line of sight to the gaskammer & crematorium at Auschwitz eins. Interesting note is the only doctor that was consistently sober during the "selections" was Mengele. Hoess was a superb witness at Nuremburg as he was direct and truthful about the operational processes at the vernichtungslager among other testimonies. Like a stereotypical Germanic robot. Precise, unemotional, and psychopathic.

I know his grandson. He was among the first group of people I met after I moved to Germany. The family's known as a "große Nazi Familie."

He epitomizes what I like to call, “white glove “ killers, as he didn’t participate with his own hands, but was an excellent tactician of death.

What I find fascinating about Höss is that unlike to for example Amon Göth (who was also in charge of a KZ), he was not a sadist. He didn't enjoy the killing, he didn't embrace it. If anything, he was proud about the efficiency. For him the killing was just a necessity, a job that needed to be done. And that's maybe even more scary than if he was simply a sadist. It shows that it didn't take an evil mastermind to commit such atrocities. He was not a special person. In another universe maybe Höss would have become the manager of a company, or maybe a simple worker. But in this one he became responsible for the killing of over a million people.

You are very accurate when you say that Rudolph Hoss is, perhaps, the personification of what Hannah Arendt called "the banality of evil", Eichmann is not. Eichmann was a dangerous fanatic, well aware of what he was doing and was proud of his murderous "achievements". It was only at the end of written his autobiography that Rudolph Hoss become aware of the moral implications of what he did, and it began to affect him consciously (nearly two years after the war ended). The two final letters to his wife and his children reveal the heavy burden of guilt that he was experiencing.

Superb production! Excellent integration of narrative and authentic graphics. Even a review at the end of what was covered, which is a hallmark of good instruction.

Make no mistake, the capacity for heinous, untenable cruelty, violence, murder & even mass murder rests within every human being...EVERY human being. People from all walks of life commit atrocious acts of unthinkable horror every day even though thought by friends, acquaintances & loved ones to be somehow "incapable of such evil". Labeling others as "monsters" w/out recognizing the monster w/in ourselves will keep us perpetually benighted about human nature, forever inhibiting our ability to better understand & even ameliorate such tendencies.

Since this naturally has to focus heavily on Auschwitz I find it nice that Treblinka and Belzec were mentioned at the end to provide more context to the tragedy of the Holocaust on a whole -- Auschwitz and Hoss, as horrible as they were, being still just a piece of the most evil system humanity has ever created.

Careful to avoid minimizing the Shoah, I also told my children about the other "undesirables" that were persecuted, hunted, imprisoned, tortured, & murdered. e.g. Romany, biracial, handicapped, mentally ill, cognitively impaired, & homosexuals. All the victims are remembered & honored in my family now.

It was satisfying to see the special execution gallow used to hang Rudolf Hoess on the Auschwitz grounds. May we never forget.

There are people like Hoss in every nation and race who are capable and possess the potential for such evil behaviour. It only has to be ignited by some maniacal individual or ideology. With this in mind it is incumbent on every person to maintain a high level of vigilance and observation to preempt any such similar situation that is in any way similar to what took place in Germany during the regime of Hitler. Sadly the world is often indifferent to these people as they manifest themselves and then it is too late to stop them. They exist and live amongst us today.

Never get involved with religion or the Catholic church for sure

Thank you for this. For your interest and information the women’s concentration camp was Ravensbrück, not Ravensburg. I read the Höss autobiography a number of years ago, and recall that the few emotions he expressed were disillusionment with the Catholic Church (confessional priest told his parents about his childish misdemeanours!) and anger at the incompetence/laziness of some of his camp subordinates. No emotions whatsoever about the more-than-one-million murders he supervised; nor about the hundreds of thousands of people whom he watched decline and die of exhaustion, starvation and camp-induced disease. On a visit to Jerusalem in the 1920s he also became very angry at the dishonesty of Catholic vendors who tried to sell him a bottle of soil, saying “This is the very soil on which the blood of Jesus fell.” Interesting that Höss became so angered and straight-laced at these comparative trivialities but felt nothing at all about the murders he later organised. Forever a mystery - unless in the next few years psychiatry reaches untold heights of wisdom. Thank you again for these accurate and very important videos.

Thank you for this video on another Nazi war criminal who met justice at the end of a rope around his neck. It is so astounding and troubling how Rudolf Hoess and his likes could be so monstrously cruel and depraved as to inflict ghastly suffering on others. Although he is now dead, his name will go down in infamy, reproach, and shame for all time on earth, and deservedly so. May we also remember the innocent victims, not only Jews, but also others whom the Nazis deemed "subhuman' or unfit to live.

Psychopaths actually have different brain structure. The area that makes moral decisions is either under-developed or totally non functional. To him, his behavior would have been perfectly logical and reasonable. No thought at all to the right or wrong of the job, only efficiency.

In cases of escaping someone SHOULD have mentioned Captain Witold Pilecki who was Polish volunteer for the Auschwitz and was producing FIRST reports for the allies about the Auschwitz camps. He also created resistance movement inside the camp. As a Pole Im sick of obscuring our heroes in history of WWII.

He is completely complicit in the murder of more than a million people. He apparently did it all without empathy. A monster!

Hoss was a cog in a machine. A major cog, a driving cog, but a cog none the less. It was unlikely that he would have done any of this if not asked/told/and encouraged by his superiors. He would have worked out well in any assignment given to him, but this was the assignment that he got. Leastwise this is the feel that I had gotten from your production. Your work is well made and easy to watch. I am a monk in a monastery, could I have done this. To be honest with you, yes I could have given the portrait that you have presented on Hoss.

I think the whole organisation was put in place to make it so that nobody could be held responsible for the prisoner's treatment. If a cog, as you say, wasn't working, it would be easy to replace it (him). I don't think Himmler would have taken kindly to any refusal to obey orders, either. Yes, I've heard that at one stage, men were given the opportunity to not be involved in the killing, and nobody took up the offer, but I would be surprised if it was a usual thing. As to people who say that 'following orders' is not a justification for their actions, holding a gun at someone's head would be a fairly good incentive to do what you're told.

I did go to visit Auschwitz at the age of eight. Where my mother lived prior to war it wasn't that far. When the time come for us to return home after a vacation I got to naging my mother untold times that I wanted to visit the place. There was this reason of religion that messed me up to the point that I was told to come with my mother to see a higher in church hierarchy in order to be admited to first communion. While there I told my mother that I wanted to wonder through the place on my own. One thing I had an issue with reconciling with a spot where they hanged the person who was in charge of the place. It was as if he got a slap on his hand but not adequate punishment. Later I did find out that they tried three times to finally get him 'right' to hang.

Well-presented, with just the right balance of showing the nazis for the scum that they were without over-editorializing. Following orders doesn't cut it anymore. It all comes down to the conscience and actions of the cogs in the machine, like you and me. May we never have to put it to the test.

God Bless everyone and to all Jewish people in all corners of the globe... 🙏🙏🙏

35:50 incorrect translation! "We will discuss it amongst us, but never in public." Big difference.

In the book AUSCHWITZ by Deborah Dwork and Robert Van Pelt it details the astronomically horrible conditions of the camp. Rudolf Höss got promoted because he was so good at being cruel and improved as time went on. Thank God he was hanged and gotten rid of. But Himmler and Goering made things worse. For example, instead of buildings for the prisoners, they used pre fabricated horse stables. They were designed to hold about 500 people each. But Goering crossed that out and wrote in 744. Now four or five people had sleep on wooden shelves (three tiers high of wooden shelves) without any heat or light. Rudolf Höss had to go along with that design. Also, there was no sewage system at Auschwitz. There were no showers. ETC. Outrageous cruelty. Rudolf Höss will not be missed at all.

Surprising in this huge Camp complex Hoess was only Lieutenant Colonel. The Kommandant of Mauthausen was a Colonel Standartenfuehrer. My observation is the system created. A train arrives with 1500. You cannot house or feed them all. The stronger men and women selected for work - processes. The others gassed/cremated. The Kommandant of Treblinka perhaps put his finger on how it worked - the ones to die were regarded as 'Cargo' that the train brought

"Incapable of empathy", to paraphrase the military psychologist referenced in the documentary, is the simplified definition of psychopathy. In current practice the term "psychopath" is avoided for some reason, "sociopath" is used instead. Either way it's the same disease. It should be understood that not all sociopaths are homicidal maniacs. In fact there may be one or more in your corporate chain of command since they tend to gravitate to executive positions. Still, regardless the disease or what you choose to call it, we must all be prepared to accept responsibility for any crime we may commit.
