disciples of the Wolf: Rudolf Hoess

disciples of the Wolf: Rudolf Hoess by ric Gustafson


Each morning Rudolf Hoess buttoned his tunic, straightened his cap and kissed his wife before going to work. He had two rules at home. No one talked about his work and the children were not allowed past the gate. His son Klaus knew something was strange beyond the gate. From an open window, he could see smoke coming from chimneys and that black ash filled their garden.
So what was Rudolf Hoess's job. He was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 2.5 million people at Auschwitz. He boasted that his camp could eliminate 10,000 people in 24 hours. In his job he saw nothing criminal in it. He placed great faith in duty and was rewarded for his duty in the death camp. Hoess's religion was Nazi ideology and he never questioned an order. Hoess was captured after the war and brought back to Auschwitz in April 1947. He was hanged in the camp.
