🚨Why was the execution of Rudolf Höss the Commandant of Auschwitz so famous?🚨

The reason why we still speak of Rudolf Höss’s death today is not only because of who he was, but also because of where and how they decided to hang him.

Most people are aware of the fact that Rudolf Höss was the commander of the Auschwitz death camps. After the war in 1946, Nazi Germany lost, he tried to blend in. He discovered a small farm, put on civilian attire and assumed the name “Franz Lang”. He believed that he could go on living his life as an average farmer, until a Jewish-British agent known as Hanns Alexander came knocking at his door.

When they located him at the farm, Höss said he did not know anything about Auschwitz and was a laborer. However, when Alexander saw that he was wearing a wedding band, he asked him to remove it. Höss attempted to deceive them, saying that he couldn’t because it was too tight around his finger. Once the soldiers informed him that they would cut his finger off if he didn’t, he was able to pull it off his finger. When they examined the band, they noticed his name and his wife’s name, “Hedwig”, was written on the ring.

What was remarkable about his hanging was that the Polish Supreme Tribunal decided that Höss should be hanged at Auschwitz on the 16th April, 1947. They constructed a gallows, made out of wood, which was situated near Crematorium I, metres away from where he sent thousands of innocents to their deaths.

Several former prisoners, such as Stanisław Hantz, were allowed to witness his execution. Many believed that Höss would show some emotion, maybe even plead for his life, however, accounts from those who witnessed it, stated that he was completely expressionless as he walked up to the gallows, similar to that of an office worker walking to his workplace.

This event is still remembered today because they were able to execute him at the very spot where he had created. As well as being one of the last public executions in Poland.
