Rudolf Höss, the infamous Commandant of Auschwitz, was a central figure in the Holocaust, overseeing the largest extermination camp of the Nazi regime. From 1940 to 1943, he led the systematic execution of millions of Jews, Roma, and other victims, implementing the "Final Solution" with ruthless efficiency. After the war, Höss was captured and put on trial at Nuremberg, where he confessed to his crimes and expressed remorse. He was sentenced to death and hanged in 1947. Höss's detailed account of his role in the Holocaust, provided in his memoirs, remains a chilling testament to the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime.
