	Rudolf Hoess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Höß (in English commonly Hoess or Höss; November 25, 1900 – April 16, 1947) was a senior Nazi official, member of the SS and Waffen-SS (with the rank of SS-Obersturmbannführer) and commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp where he was responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people.

	Radio Islam: How the British Obtained the Confessions of Rudolf Hoess
		The confessions of Rudolf Hoess supply the keystone to the theory which maintains that the systematic extermination of the Jews, especially by means of homicidal gas chambers, was a historical reality.
		Hoess is alleged to have written these texts in pencil under the watchful eye of his Polish-Communist jailers, while in a prison at Cracow awaiting his trial.
		It seems that Rudolf Hoess, like thousands of accused Germans turned over to the mercy of conquerors who were totally convinced of their own goodness, had quickly grasped that he had no other choice but to suffer the will of his judges, whether they came from the West or from the East.

		HOESS: Yes, an observer who did not make special notes for that purpose could obtain no idea about that because to begin with not only transports arrived which were destined to be destroyed but also other transports arrived continuously, containing new internees who were needed in the camp.
		HOESS: In view of all these doubts which I had, the only one and decisive argument was the strict order and the reason given for it by the Reichsfuehrer Himmler.
		HOESS: These so-called illtreatments and this torturing in concentration camps, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners that were liberated by the occupying armies, were not, as assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual leaders, subleaders, and men who laid violent hands on internees.

	Rudolf Hoess: The legal implications of his forced confession (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Rudolf Hoess, Commandant of Auschwitz from 1940 - 1943 was captured by the British on March 13, 1946.
		Although in regard to the charges of "crimes against humanity" Hoess was arguably the most important prisoner, his role at Nuremberg was not as one of the convicted by as a defense witness for Ernest Kaltenbrunner.
		Since so much of the Hoess testimony was derived for a court of law or became part of the legal record, it is only fair that the proper legal implications of his torture, which included threats to his direct family members, be reviewed.

	Rudolf Hoess
		Rudolf Hoess [in German; Höß] was the Auschwitz commandant whose "confessions" have "proven" that Hitler gassed six million Jews (or five million, the figure usually used at Nuremberg).
		An example of an unsigned affidavit by Rudolf Hoess is Document NO-4498-B. The B means that this document is a "translation" with typewritten signature of an "original" document, Document NO-4498-A, written in Polish, and allegedly signed by Hoess.
		Hoess appeared as a "defense witness", and his cross-examination by the prosecution was cut short by the prosecution itself (XI 418-419).

		It's a remarkable deposition, and were it not for the fact that everything Hoess says in the parts quoted by Shirer is corroborated in other places by other means you might be forgiven in your assertion that history of the Holocaust 'depends' completely on Hoess' confession.
		If Hoess had died before he'd ever been deposed, we'd still know the fact that almost 200,000 people were deported to Treblinka, never to be seen again.

	School of Theology - Seton Hall University
		Hoess was born on November 25, 1901 in the German town of Baden-Baden, the eldest of three children and only son of devout Catholic parents.
		Hoess grew up in a family atmosphere in which expressions of love, freedom from worry, spontaneity, and humor were paralyzed; where everything the child did was judged by strict moral standards, where the word "duty" had almost mystical significance and disobedience in trifles was almost a crime.
		By March 1941 Hoess had received orders to increase the camp's capacity tenfold.28 When he complained that this rate of expansion was impossible, given the incompetence of his staff and the denial of his requests for needed building material and supplies, Himmler told him he didn't want to hear about difficulties.

		The revisionists sent me an article by a Frenchman named Robert Faurisson, which claimed that Rudolf Höss, one of the commandants of Auschwitz, had been tortured by the British into confessing to a fantastic and unbelievable number of murders This statement, specially mounted and reproduced, is an important exhibit at the Holocaust Memorial.

		Rudolf Hoss was the commandant of the concentration and extermination camp of Still with the feeling of being called to service, he made every effort, offering his observations and experiences, 'in an almost repellent manner to be helpful' (
		It was this moral longing, as powerful as it was undirected, that made Rudolf Hoss suitable material for the demands of the totalitarian ethic, because it contained everything he was seeking: simple formulas, an uncomplicated schema of good and evil, a hierarchy of normal standards orientated according to military categories, and a utopia.
