Скачать или смотреть The Execution of Rudolf Höss: Why Was the Auschwitz Commandant Hanged in His Own Death Camp?

April 16, 1947. Auschwitz concentration camp.
Rudolf Höss stepped out of a transport vehicle at the main gate. Two years earlier, he had walked these paths as commandant — the master of a factory designed to murder human beings. Now his hands were bound behind his back. Now he was walking to the gallows.
The execution site was fifty meters from his former villa. The same villa where his wife had tended her garden. The same villa where his five children had played while, just beyond the fence, the crematoria burned day and night.
He had killed over one million people in this place. Men, women, children — selected, gassed, burned, erased. He had approached genocide as an engineering problem. He had complained about the stress of managing so many deaths.
Now he was coming home.
This is the story of Rudolf Höss — the man who built Auschwitz into a death factory and died within its walls. The bureaucrat who murdered without passion and showed no remorse. And the execution that brought him back to the place where his crimes were committed.
In this documentary, you will learn:
→ How an ordinary Catholic boy became history’s greatest mass murderer
→ The eleven months Höss spent hiding as a farmhand after the war
→ His chilling testimony at Nuremberg — where he calmly described killing millions
→ The execution at Auschwitz, witnessed by survivors of his death camp
→ What his family said about him decades later
“Back to Auschwitz.” That was the only justice that made sense. He built a kingdom of death — and died within its walls.
