Rudolf Höss Libri

Rudolf Höss, ufficiale delle SS, fu per due anni a capo del più grande campo di sterminio nazista. Processato da un tribunale polacco venne condannato a morte. In carcere, in attesa dell'esecuzione, scrisse questa autobiografia, un documento impressionante che per la prima volta ha illuminato dall'interno la mentalità e la psicologia dei nazisti, la storia e il funzionamento delle officine della morte. "Höss è stato uno dei massimi criminali mai esistiti ma non era fatto di una sostanza diversa da quella di qualsiasi altro borghese di qualsiasi altro paese; la sua colpa, non scritta nel suo patrimonio genetico né nel suo essere nato tedesco, sta tutta nel non aver saputo resistere alla pressione che un ambiente violento aveva esercitato su di lui, già prima della salita di Hitler al potere... Si spandono oggi molte lacrime sulla fine delle ideologie; mi pare che questo libro dimostri in modo esemplare a che cosa possa portare un'ideologia che viene accettata con la radicalità dei tedeschi di Hitler, e degli estremisti in generale. Le ideologie possono essere buone o cattive; è bene conoscerle, confrontarle e cercare di valutarle; è sempre male sposarne una, anche se si ammanta di parole rispettabili quali Patria e Dovere" (Primo Levi)

The unsparing autobiography of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess, which gives a frightening insight into his motives and actions.

An extraordinary and unique document: Hoess was in charge of the huge extermination camp in Poland where the Nazis murdered some three million Jews, from the time of its creation (he was responsible for building it) in 1940 until late in 1943, by which time the mass exterminations were half completed. Before this he had worked in other concentration camps, and afterwards he was at the Inspectorate in Berlin. He thus knew more, both at first-hand and as an administrator, about Nazi Germany's greatest crime than did any save two or three other men.Taken prisoner by the British, he was handed over to the Poles, tried, sentenced to death, and taken back to Auschwitz and there hanged. During the period between his trial and his execution, he was ordered to write his autobiography. This is it. Hoess repeatedly says he was glad to write the book. He enjoyed the work. And finally the most careful checking has shown that he took great pains to tell the truth. Here we have, painted by his own hand, a vivid and unforgettable self-portrait of one of the great monsters of all time. To this are added portraits of some of his more spectacular fellow-criminals. The royalties from this macabre but historically important book go to the fund set up to help the few survivors from the Auschwitz camps.
