After World War II, Rudolf Höss, the real commandant of Auschwitz, was captured by Allied forces and tried at the Nuremberg Trials. He was convicted of crimes against humanity and war crimes. In 1947, he was executed by hanging in Poland. His trial and execution were significant in documenting the atrocities committed at Auschwitz and holding Nazi leaders accountable for their actions.
