Teefan85 has read # 18 - Jürg Amann - The commander

spine - that's how:

Jürg Amann has the records, the Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess wrote down before his execution, condensed into a monstrous monologue: This book locks the reader into the head of a mass murderer.

My opinion:

Hoss us on the first pages of the 108 pages thin book in his childhood. He grew up well-protected, the son of a devout Catholic priest, is to follow in the footsteps and he wants to hurt but as his confessor his confession, Hoess is profoundly disappointed and logs on as a soldier for the 1st World War the - no 16th
After he kills the first time a soldier with one shot, is the penny dropped and he no longer is difficult. It is his task. When he later comes to brood and get to know his wife, he wants to missionary in Africa, but because it recalls the SS and he is commander in Dachau, and later in Auschwitz.

bluntly, he writes down what was going on and how the gas chambers was tested for the "Final Solution of the Jewish question" with Russian prisoners. "But I have to say openly, to me this gassing had a calming effect, so I had to be started in the near future with the mass extermination of the Jews, and yet was neither Eichmann nor I the kind of killing that clearly anticipated masses."
Nothing that is described in this book that is new to me, because the issue was already addressed in several books. The book promises to back me, unfortunately, more ultimately has kept the book. Yes, he's killed by the gasification masses, but that anyone who was in a concentration camp operates.

The author describes in the afterword that it was probably turned by about 600 pages of diary of the commander, which he has compressed, therefore it is the book I think has to be unkind, because you would have to deepen certain things.
I had read, unfortunately the feeling that I was indeed in the mind of a mass murderer was, but this rather simply did his job, as every office worker also. What do these gasification can not just look as bad as it was.
