- At the end of the Second World War, the Allies tried to bring the evil guards of concentration camps to justice. But one man they were hunting for was Rudolf Höss, the Commandant of Auschwitz who was responsible for the executions of over 1 million people inside of the huge site. But Höss could not be found, until his wife gave over the information that he was working as a gardener under a false name. Following this Hanns Alexander and a group of British soldiers arrived at Gottrupel where he was hiding out, and they tried to get him to give over his real name.
He was identified when his ring was take off and engraved was Rudolf and Hedwig, his wife's name. But after this, he was beaten badly by the British soldiers that apprehended him, and they beat him heavily with axe handles. Alexander was told that he would not have survived if they continued, but then whilst he was imprisoned he was also tortured for information.

For everyone watching this, go ahead and watch the movie “The Zone of Interest” which is about this man and his family. Many horrific lessons to remember from his life and deeds. Excellent movie as well
The movie shows Rudolph as a dedicated husband, father and officer. He was recognized for excellence in his work.
Such a good movie. I also recommend it

It's a movie, not a documentary. History is written by the victors.
@@cloudstreets1396if thats what you got from the film you didnt get the point.
I read the book he wrote in the year up to his Hanging. He wrote his deeds down, as if each Inmate was a can of beans, to be eaten off a Death Factory production line. The whole process he designed, without any source of compassion. He chose the Gassing, as he had used it on his farm. He lived with his family, inside the Death Factory, without anything being hidden from his children, they could hear everything. Beating, Shootings, Hangings, Role-Call, everything. We the British told his wife, that if she didn't tell them where he was, the next train leaving to Russia, would contain her eldest child. Then she told then.
He complained about the torture he endured?! Ironic.
Ironic or revealing of the vile, murderous coward he was?
I know right, seems he got off lightly
What he actually complained about was the fact that he had turned states evidence and got zero credit for doing so! This sounds ridiculous, and it is, No question. but it is worth remembering that without most of his testimony many other senior Nazis would never have faced prosecution.
In his defense, he did Nazi it coming
too soon?
I can shed no tears over the way that the people running the camps were treated after the war.
Really wow? That is quite magnanimous of you!
@@ermannomassarella6528 ham-ass first tho!
@@ermannomassarella6528what crimes you new Nazi
you gotta remember some of these people were forced and did not agree with the agenda.
both things are uncomparable regarding the scale of the crimes @@ermannomassarella6528
In my life I have witnessed the knowledge of the holocaust and the nazis dwindle. Now they are under different names rising again everywhere because we have started to forget. Each generation shows less interest in the horrors of WW2.

Not in a million years he would have imagined where he would be executed
Maybe, but maybe not. At least at the end, he must have known the war wasn’t going well for Germany, and that he could be held accountable if the Nazis weren’t in power any more.
@@Itried20takennamesmaybe, maybe not? You mean not In million years he thought he would be executed there
@@genghiskhan9200no. That's not what he meant. He said what he meant Muhammad.
Quite. Wouldn't happen now would it.
If they had won the war chances are it would have become a tourist site filled with rides and a statue in his memory
He got off easy with the Brits beating him senseless …like a true whimp he complained about his treatment … too freaking bad …
...HE'S JUST LUCKY THAT NONE OF THE SURVIVORS OF AUSCHWITZ GOT THEIR HANDS ON HIM-(!)
Tough, I'm sure he lost no sleep over all those he murdered.
He was following orders. Like Americans following orders when murdering Iraqis whom had nothing to do with 9/11.
Crazy he thought he should have been treated better and with more respect after being arrested
Typical narcissist--and sociopath.
I mean...war crimes are committed by like everyone. Not making any excuses for him obviously. But this came about because they mistreated Germany so...I guess do unto others applies all the time to everyone.
@@mememan2344 And Germany was mistreated for mistreating other Countries.

The Zone of interest is a new cinema picture I saw today. It was very well done and frightening portraits of a very coldhearted couple.
If you do not know the Zone of Interest is a poor translation of the German INTERESSENGEBIET, an area which comprises the whole of Auschwitz's 3 camps: the main camp with ARBEIT MACHT FREI. Birkenau and Monowitz, the I.G Farben site.
Fiction
my sympathies are all they can be, considering the torment he inflicted on the prisoners of Auschwitz... precisely ZERO
In other words torturing people is just fine unless the nazis are the ones doing it. Nice double standard you have there
@@JS-wp4gsare you dumb?
@@JS-wp4gswe didn’t hug the nazis to death timmy.
You want to murder and torture people…

@@JS-wp4gs You didn't walk through that camp and see what they saw. You are definitely choosing the wrong battle here. SMH.
@@sahb4049 Moral relativist calls someone 'simp' - the irony.
The visit to a concentration camp as a child on vacation to west Germany just didn’t connect until experiencing maturity and life. Understanding the lose of life done in the most cruel ways. The Gas was burning of what we commonly use for refrigeration that caused a painful and suffering Death.
They sought to inflict as much trauma as possible to the victims.
It is INSANE to me that his wife Hedwig was allowed to live out the rest of her life. And the only reason she even gave up her husbands location was because they threatened to take her sons away from her. Absolutely mind-blowing.
What is more upsetting is that she was admitted to the US. Germans lived in rubble with no food, housing or water, after the war, and she lived in comfort.
I noticed that Hoess did not mention the Jews he exterminated. So, his realization of his cruel sins was b*llsh*t.
Right?
People are predisposed to believe that they're behavior is OK but reality is a slap in the face.
Most don't have to face accountability for war crimes... See: Israel and U.S.A .
...PUT THIS IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT: NEITHER THE U.S. NOR ISRAEL STARTED THAT GODDAM WAR IN EUROPE- AND EVEN ON THEIR WORST DAYS- THE U.S.- AND THE ISRAELIS- HAD AN AWFUL LONG WAY TO STOOP BEFORE THEY'D HAVE BEEN EVEN HALF AS BAD AS THE NAZIS (AND CERTAINLY THE JAPANESE) DURING WW2- AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!!!

I agree it is forgotten or at least not touched on in any conversation I have had with friends or absent friends I posted that this should never happen again 1 person responded , sad for I fear it will continue in the future
Thanks again for a well done video. Commenting to help the channel.
"THE ZONE OF INTEREST" Now playing at Camelview Theater, Harkins, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
It is also available free to stream on prime.
I read Hoess’ memoir he wrote during his imprisonment. It’s very dry and he really had no talent as a writer. It really gave me some perspective on what it’s like to be completely brainwashed. There is no colour, no creativity, no self-awareness, and a complete absence of critical thought that doesn’t align with the values of the ideology.
In that, from a humanist perspective he understood what he did was wrong but couldn’t see the inhumanity behind his actions. He was so brainwashed by the false righteousness of the Nazi ideology and wrapped up by the fanaticism of the SS that he was unrepentant and unapologetic up to the very end, believing he only did what was right. It really is sickening.
The only regret he had was not dedicating more time towards being a father and a husband.
Do you believe it was true testimony. ? When you are not free you may write anything
@@bursartpark9320What reason would he have to lie? Hoess never tried defending his actions. He never minimized his role in the Holocaust. He understood what he was doing was morally reprehensible and that he would have to pay with his life. But he wasn’t sorry for anything he had done because he was doing his duty and believed that’s what made his actions to be “right.” He even spoke about some of the interactions he had with inmates before they were gassed, like a mother who pointed his attention to her daughter and asked how could he kill such a beautiful young child who has not had a chance at life? He coped with the feelings he had from these personal encounters by going for rides on his horse to “clear his mind.” He definitely wasn’t a psychopath who couldn’t feel empathy, because he was able to make the connection to his own children and how he would feel if they were about to be murdered in front of him.
You can write anything when you’re free too so what’s the difference?
You just described the Democratic Party.
@@sprintkick9793 I did? Huh.. they’re not much different than republicans then either. Two different sides of the same coin.
Read the writings of the American Eugenics movement for over 50 years through the 1950s and you'll see the same sentiment that wasn't hanged.
Planned parenthood was based on that ideology, yet we still allow it today.
Don't think we're somehow better or less brainwashed today than Hoss was then.
it's apparent some of our American university professors and presidents need some re-education of this subject. How quickly the world forgets ...
They're too busy being woke.

@@steaustin8789 Let me just say I agree with both of you.
I have had read, the Poles at his execution site went to great lengths to grant his final wish.... to make him a cup of coffee. He then took his time drinking it.

Evil never sleeps.
The poster child for cowardice
It’s unfortunate that human beings never seem to understand that genocide and ethnic cleansing is never acceptable. I really don’t know what it’s going to take for our species to start acting humane to each other.
can i ask, what makes it never acceptable, Because it's inhuman? then what part of me makes me different from a human? Just because some group of men thought it wasn't acceptable ? what makes it different from invading a country in the 1400 for more land differ in todays time ? can you answer these questions ?
This is why we should all have our own spaces. We are isnane to think people that are so different can live together happily
@@Heavyisthecrown It depends on if we focus on our similarities or our differences. I’m a Black American man in my 60’s but that’s not all that I am. I have various other aspects to me…a Star Trek fan, I like boxing, I’m a vegan, I love music & cinema, I line beer, etc. Just about anywhere I go I can connect with someone about something. I could easily dismiss people because of their ethnicity, cultural background, religion, etc. but then I’d be doing myself a disservice by losing out on some wonderful human interactions. In the end, we have more in common than we think and life’s too short to be an ass about it.
Pfft that wasn't "torture".
Hardly torture....In Hell, Guy Fawkes will sit this guy down and tell him all about it
Why would Fawkes have to be in hell?
He was barbaric and evil. I'm glad he faced justice for his wickedness.
For someone like him, justice is impossible
having children himself how could he see all those poor kids going to the gas chambers.....heartless
So is Obama Busch Clinton I can go on

@@frenzalrhomb6919 roos man! they got me!
The movie that this Sunday won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was the dramatized documentary about this man's pleasant family life in their mansion next to Auschwitz. Now and then they hear shots or the screams of the dying while their children paddle in a wading pool. Human ashes from the camp fertilize his lovely gardens. His wife is even more indifferent than he is. I think I can bear to see the whole film now that I can see him killed-- but how can one stupid man's death be sufficient "justice" for millions of innocents tortured to death?
There’s a funny irony in him saying he deserves a better standard of care
Seems like he was pretty unapologetic for everything until he realized he was going to die. There is no forgiveness, dude. You went straight to hell.
Last I checked, Jews don’t believe in hell and I doubt you do either.
Had to speed this up by 50% just to make watchable, intentionally slow voice over to get longer CZcams plays is so annoying
I wonder if when he complained about his treatment, he considered the way he treated so many of his victims.
The innocent and good died first...those who were the most evil...survived.
The zone of interest film brought me here. Nothing is more cruel than the brainwashed people in the world.
😂he complains of harsh treatment....ñ
I've actually stood right on the spot the first photo was taken. We must never forget this, but ensure we do not repeat it either. Where innocents die, we have.
Well, worry more. The ones you would fear never "learned" anything from ww2. They where let in to the west and live among us now. They wave palestinian flags etc.
Too late
There can be only one superior chosen race. And we all know who that is, don't we?
Well, it was repeated on Oct. 7.
Yes we do. The Human Race.
I remember a documentary, and there was a polish guy who witnessed Hoss’s hanging and the polish guy said ‘ne za malo’ - is it not too little [for all the evil things that this guy has done]?
This is the problem with materialist ideas of justice. A man who killed millions can only himself be killed once in retribution.
"Nie za mało?"
is amazing when you think how long we live and that some just want to spend most of it hating people they dont even know
Maybe students at American Ivy League colleges should watch these videos. Just sayin.
What does Ivy League have to do with this?
Holy crap, from a distance he does look like Ralph Fiennes.
Sad....
I’m sure Rudolph has a lot of fans at Harvard, and all the other Ivy League schools, who celebrate antisemitism

As is that's the crime of the century. Mere 'antisemitism' will never hold a candle to the atrocities of communism in the 20th century and China's continuation into the 21st. The Nazis were just a small fish in a big pond of evil and paltry compared to Mao and Stalin. Xi's government will surpass Hitler's wildest dreams of murder, but sure... focus on one single persecuted group out of many. 🙄
LOL ironic
What’s with the dragging out the last syllable of every sentence?
I went to the storrrrr
I bought some eeeeggggss
Then I went hooommmee
Is this something they teach in narration class? Because it’s really common on you tuuuubbee.
This is the world WE created.......are you happy yet ? ✌️🙏
I wonder how he was feeling when he was walking towards his death. Was he scared was he sorry for what he had done. Did he ask for forgiveness?
He wrote a book of memoirs.
They are only sorry when they get caught...Just like serial killers!..And they always find God?
I don't think so ... If you saw all that death around you and are in the SS ... you live with no fear of death or remorse.
He went to confession before he died, so yes.
None of the above. Probably thought he was a victim in all of it. Don't they all?
German Army veterans have talked about the diabolical stench from four chimneys at full bore which they could smell 20 miles away. So the horrific black smoke must have easily been all around them....I feel sick.
So his wife basically sentenced him to death...
I wonder how she must have felt being directly responsible for getting him to die. And don't forget that his wife must have known what was going on in the camp and surely could have influenced him to seek another job.
Or maybe....nothing went on in the camps besides work.

Lovely content, crap oration with emphasis on the last syllables drawn out makes it impossible to listen to him
Those are a "short drop" gallows, designed to strangle you over several minutes. I would suspect the Poles built that with as little drop as practical.
FYI the Einsatzgruppen (SS Death Squads) used the same technique with children, which because of how light they were could take up to half an hour.
The Grey Zone is really good too’😮
Your ability to maintain that droning monotone throughout this video is commendable - NOT!!!, but also quite annoying, like the CZcamsrs that try to sound like 70s disc jockeys. Take breathes between sentences and talk normally - like you would to your Mother/Father, not like you're talking to someone you'd rather not be talking to, rushing to the end of each sentence.
I find his voice soothing.
lol 😂 Nazi sympathiser 👎
His voice adds to the madness
Agree. Most annoying narration voice ever.
Less We Forget!
I had an employee who confided that he was his great grandson.
His wife refered time in Auschwitz as the happiest time, no comments, pure evil
Get someone else to narrate the video the odd reading and strange inflection of the words makes it hard to understand the story
Amazing that he didn't use the 'ratline' to escape to SAmerica..
My grandfather was a German guard after the war all he did was grow and tend his roses. He was a broken man
They way you pronounce höss is criminal itself 😂
The humane treatment he received from (some) of his captors greatly shamed him to egret and understanding what he had done. That is powerful.
If he was being sincere in his account. It is possible, but not certain.
@@jamesc7286 He wrote in his Memoirs that what they had done was Just, sincere my ass!!
Sort of f**k you want to turn the thermostat in Hell up a few more notches
He was just éveil and a monstre not to forgive But to do this is to put us in the same place.as he had no respect for the humain.ofcouse he had to die but. he had to go to the justice .
A rather odd speech affectation by the narrator.
Hoss felt betrayed by the British officer class, Nazis treated the British officers who were captured differently from ordinary Tommies, they enjoyed amateur theatre and billets stuffed with Red Cross parcels. Kurt Vonnegut details a lot of this when he became a POW in Dresden and reveals how the Nazi officers and British POW officers were very chummy with each other
When Vonnegut had diarrhoea and was shitting and vomiting all over the place he overheard a British officer say, "these Americans are disgusting" to which his Nazi officer friend replied, "I'm so sorry you have to put up with them, we will move the Americans to another camp as soon as possible '
Höss did not deny his deeds and the shoa. He gave witness at the Nürnberg trial agravating the situation if the defendants. Göring was upset.
Needs too much concentration to understand all words, is this Scottish or Irish or Welsh? - cheers from the continent…
Sounds like Estuary accent to me mate
Yeah tell me all about God is judge. I know/understand this. And then Godless people asked Where is your God? There is a Justifiable measure of Justice to which men Are responsible.
Was he the one portrayed in Schindler’s List ?
No.
That was Amon Goeth
Hedwig Hoess knew what was happening.
It was no torture.
He was executed after trial and according to sentencing.
He did tortured millions of people from all of Europe.
Battered him!!!!!!!! No, what they were doing was swatting the fleas off his person, no helping some people.
This evil man got served justice. I shed no tear for this wicked evil man. May there be NO rest in peace for this evil soul.
I'm not sure how his being battered to death would've meant he'd avoided justice. Of course, it was better that he was tried so he could testify about his horrible deeds and also implicate others who'd participated in the holocaust. But in the end, death is death. And death found the commandant at the end of a rope.
Diane’s mother is very attractive ❤
The only event in history that cannot be discussed. Wonder why...
Take your holocaust denial bs somewhere else
why you dont think it happened....bet you wet yourself on oct 7th this year you was so excited.....

I came here after a short of the inside of a gas chamber….had to remind myself justice got served
Moaned about how he was treated! If he was treated how he behaved he would have seen his wife and children sent to their death and he would have starved beat up and worked till it killed him what a f#%king hypocrite
