Rudolf Hoss is befittingly hanged at Auschwitz in 1947

 

Rudolf Hoss was the commandant of the infamous Auschwitz Concentration Camp. During the Nuremberg Trial he testified that at least 2,500,000 prisoners, almost all of them Jews, were exterminated at the camp. After his conviction he was returned to Auschwitz and hanged on the grounds of the extermination camp.

Excerpts from Hoss' testimony:

"I commanded Auschwitz until 1 December 1943, and estimate that at least 2,500,000 victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning, and at least another half million succumbed to starvation and disease, making a total of about 3,000,000 dead. This figure represents about 70% or 80% of all persons sent to Auschwitz as prisoners, the remainder having been selected and used for slave labor in the concentration camp industries.

Included among the executed and burnt were approximately 20,000 Russian prisoners of war (previously screened out of Prisoner of War cages by the Gestapo) who were delivered at Auschwitz in Wehrmacht transports operated by regular Wehrmacht officers and men. The remainder of the total number of victims included about 100,000 German Jews, and great numbers of citizens (mostly Jewish) from Holland, France, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, or other countries. We executed about 400,000 Hungarian Jews alone at Auschwitz in the summer of 1944."

"The killing itself took the least time. You could dispose of 2,000 head in half an hour, but it was the burning that took all the time. The killing was easy; you didn't even need guards to drive them into the chambers; they just went in expecting to take showers and, instead of water, we turned on poison gas. The whole thing went very quickly."

EDITOR'S NOTE: That is why there is a State of Israel.

Enjoy your Christmas.
