disciples of the Wolf: Amon Goeth by ric Gustafson
Amon Goeth was born on December 11 1908 in Vienna Austria. His nickname was the ' Nazi Butcher'. He earned this nickname because he enjoyed killing. In 1942, he was assigned to round up and transport Jews to Treblinka, Belzec and Sobibor. He did such a good job that he was appointed the commandant of Krakow- Plaszow labour camp in spring 1943. This camp was populated by survivors of the Krakow ghetto.
As commandant, he was given full reign to do as he pleased. He killed prisoners by shooting them with a high powered rifle. He would set his two dogs on prisoners. Goeth was a psychopath who relished the power over life and death. He killed prisoners just for displeasing him.
In September 1944, he was charged with depriving prisoners of food and was confined to an asylum. After the war, Goeth was arrested and tried by the Poles. He was hanged for war crimes not far from the Krakow camp where his horrible crimes were committed.
