The Hanging of Rudolf Höss | Justice at Auschwitz (1947)

On April 16, 1947, Rudolf Höss — the former commandant of Auschwitz — faced justice for his role in one of history’s darkest crimes. Responsible for the deaths of millions during the Holocaust, Höss was tried, convicted, and executed at the very place where countless victims perished.

This is the story of his crimes, his trial, and his final moments — a chilling reminder that even the most powerful cannot escape accountability.
