it's difficult to comprehend the scale of the killing. Hoess is at pains to tell the reader that he never mistreated prisoners. how he punished guards who abused those in their care. He then nonchalantly describes the murder of 2.5 million people, before repeating he tried his best to improve the lot if those prisoners who were needed for work. The book is very detailed and it makes one wonder how he remembered all those details while sat in a cell. that then begs the question to the authenticity to some or all of the book.

It was interesting to hear the point of view of someone like Rudolf Hoess... the book is based around his life, the letters to his family and the people that he interacted with.
he explains that his is no author, but it's hard to draw any conclusions from what he wrote... would recommend to people as it gives an overview of what it was like in the camps

Responsible for the murder of millions but not responsible because he was just following orders. He kept saying he wanted to made camp conditions better but was happy to see millions gassed and cremated. A totally vile human being from a corrupt and disgusting regime. For all the holocaust deniers, read this book please. The person who was in charge of mass murder says he did it so how dare you you say otherwise.
