How did the Rudolf Hoess portray the Holocaust?
For Hoess, carrying out the Holocaust was a matter of duty as a soldier. The order, he wrote, struck him as somewhat strange, but he saw it as his duty to obey.
Why did Rudolf hoss go to prison?
because According to several estimates the Nazi Commandant of Auschwitz Rudolf Hoess was responsible for exterminating millions of people.By mid 1942, Rudolf Hoess started mass gassing of Jews using Zyklon-B at Auschwitz, where extermination was conducted on an industrial scale with some estimates running as high as 2,5 million persons eventually killed through gassing, starvation, disease, shooting, and burning I think that the question refers to Hoess' stint in prison in 1924. It was for a rather brutal murder of a former teacher who was suspected of starting a communist group.
Who was Rudolf Hoess and what was his role in the Final Solution?
The SS Commandant of Auschwitz from 1940-1943, Hoess was responsible for the death of more than one million prisoners. He was a veteran of WWI, and an early and committed Nazi. Rudolf Hoess (NOT to be confused with Rudolf Hess, the deputy Fuehrer till 1941) was captured by the British near Flensburg in March 1946. It seems that to some extent at least he was co-operative and he gave evidence at the main Nuremberg Trial. He was then transferred to Poland to be tried for his crimes as Kommandant of Auschwitz. While awaiting trial he wrote his memoirs. What emerges is the archetypal authoritarian personality, the type who wants to get ahead in life, works zealously, obeys enthusiastically and asks no moral questions - the type who grovels to his superiors. He makes no attempt to hide what happened at Auschwitz. The memoirs which came out in translation in Polish and were published in the original in Germany in 1958. The following year an English translation was published. It is a terrifying book: one expects a monster of depravity and finds a rather ordinary man, a zealous official, his head full of the stereotypes and prejudices of his time. Hoess was tried and convicted in April 1947 and later that month he was taken back to Auschwitz and hanged facing the main gate with the notorious slogan Arbeit macht frei (English - Work sets [you] free).
Were Nazis normal people?
It would be comforting to think that the Nazis were a depraved bunch, revelling in evil. However, most of them were ordinary, very ordinary indeed, even boringly ordinary. They were, in the words of Hermann Galser, 'extraordinary in their ordinariness'. Read Rudolf Hoess's memoirs. He was the commandant of Auschwitz from 1940-1943 and again in 1944. One expects a monster of depravity - and finds a very ordinary career-conscious bureaucrat.
