Аннотация

Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Höß (Nov. 25, 1900 — April 16, 1947), former commandant of Auschwitz, the huge Nazi extermination camp in Poland, gives us here his authentic autobiography. He openly confesses that he personally arranged to have 2,000,000 persons shot or gassed… While in prison awaiting his execution, he was ordered to record his memories. He gladly complied…

“This autobiography of a deluded multi-million murderer belongs in the hands of many readers.”
—NEW YORK TIMES

“A reminder, never to be forgotten, of the appalling and disastrous effects of totalitarianism on men’s minds.”
—from the Introduction by Lord Russell of Liverpool

FROM THE REVIEWS

“This is what Rudolf Hoess wrote. Its authenticity cannot be gainsaid. What was revealed at Nuremberg bears it out. Stories of survivors do likewise… It is a fiendish recital.”
—ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

“The horror of this book is that Rudolf Hoess seems like such an ordinary man. That is also what makes it an important work.”
—NEW YORK POST

“With an excellent introduction by Lord Russell of Liverpool and brilliantly translated from the German by Constantino FitzGibbon… this appalling book holds a compulsive fascination by reason of its very coldbloodedness.”
—VIRGINIA KIRKUS SERVICE
