Commandant of Auschwitz : The Autobiography of Rudolf Hoess
1.
Heinrich Himmler
2.
The Auschwitz guards
3. The prisoners themselves
People who, according to Rudolph Höss, were NOT to blame for the horrors at Auschwitz:
1. Rudolph Höss
WARNING! - sarcasm (on my part) may occur in the following!
Kluz's biography of Hoess's last days is therefore just as dependent as Hoess's autobiography on the power of confession to make or unmake a life.
Rudolph Höss believed himself to be an SS saint - he did what was expected of him, he was steadfastly loyal and he protected the Fatherland against all enemies, interior and exterior. He was not to blame for anything that went on at Auschwitz because the orders he gave were only those given to him by Himmler.
And he could not possibly oversee all his guards at once to make sure that they carried out the orders correctly. Some of the guards were really just sadistic people who had no business being at a place like Auschwitz. But Höss was not to be blamed for their presence there eit
