    Goth is often used as a psychology model because his brutality came hand in hand with the permissiveness he was given. If placed in a situation where he cannot act brutally, he doesn't act brutally and place in a situation where his brutality can be unbounded then his brutality knew no end.

I was kept like a prisoner, made to constantly do housework, and called horrid names on a daily basis. When i became a teenager, i was not still not allowed to go out or to wear make up and fashionable clothes. I soon became, from an early age, a target for all of the neighbouring kids and the kids at school, for being in their words, "weird and stupid" ........... When i reached the age of 18, i left their house and their town, and went to the opposite side of the country to live, never to see any of em again! I am now 60 years old with no happy memories at all and a very nervous personality. I have become a recluse with an eating disorder and other mental heath issues, but guess what??? ..... I have never, ever, had a compulsion to go around killing people, so i really do not have much sympathy for this man. Sorry! ....

    Göth is the prototype of the highly educated Nazi. In reference to this and to the movie Schindlers List, when the ghetto is being destroyed, one particular scene accentuates the fact that they did not care nor did they have any feelings of guilt. An officer starts playing the piano in the middle of the destruction of the people living there. Two soldiers ask the man if he is playing Bach or Mozart as if nothing special is going on around them. It was just a job for most of the Nazis and SS members.
    I do not want to give Göth the benefit of considering the posibility of being mentally ill and subsequently becoming one of those who is excused. He was very aware of his doings as by far most of the SS officers and military were. These are not sociopaths or psychopaths. This kind of people do live among us, and are living a life like most of us do. They will show their real mentality in situations such as a war.

      God give them just one law to followed,not ever eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; Satan took his opportunity' tor go against God and his precious Creation, so he came to the garden as a serpent and lie to Eve, saying : God don't wanted you to eat this fruit because if you tasted it you will be like Him knowing Everything! Eve feeling the temptation of all that power and delicious new fruit took one bite and, taste the fruit....Really it was good!

      Germany invaded Poland 1st September 1939’ therefore breaking the Munich agreement. Britain & France had guaranteed Poland military support & declared war 3 September. Germany & Russia had a non aggression pact & Russia invaded Poland 17 September. Supposedly to come to the aid of Ukrainian & Belorussia who were in territory which they said was illegally annexed by Poland. The British expeditionary forces started to go to France 9 Sept, But spent seven months training. No hostilities between German & Allied armies took place until April 1940. The period between September & April was nicknamed the phoney war. Germany attacked Russia June 22 1941. USA entered war on 11 December 1941 after being attacked by Japan. Complicated isn’t it.

    Excellent bio as usual , wasn’t aware of his excessive drinking or breakdown one wonders if ever questioned his violence so chillingly portrayed in Schindlers list as you referenced.

      According to Spielberg, he had to tone down Göth’s violence because he was worried it would not be believable.

    Thank god he didn’t have a close relationship with his kids. Knowing what kind of horrors lurked inside him, he might have inflicted terrible things upon them.

    Could you possibly do a similar story about kurt franz, the sadistic killer of treblinka death camp? This topic receives no attention to students, trebllinka was the deadliest camp, surpassing auschwitz which gets all the attention.

    Goeth was an opportunist with a streak of grandeur over the prisoners he oversaw. Someone that punishes people below him but never above. Given the position and opportunities, we'd find many people capable of doing the same thing he did under the circumstances.

    Goeth was just plain evil! That SOB is now in the ultimate reeducation camp; HELL!

    If you havent seen it already watch Schindlers list. That is a must see movie for every human and then read Frankls book “ A mans search for meaning” …with just those you will get a good understanding of everything involving the holocaust. The movie also shows how ruthless Amon Goeth was as well.

    I'll bet it took sometime for actor Ralph Fiennes to get Amon Goth out of him...Al Pacino once said "it took several years before I got Tony Montana out of me."

    The list was found in the 90s. And it was 3 lists typed out over a period of time. So, 3 separate occasions

    process of Amon was in Krakow St.Michael Prison, not in Warsaw. That makes difference. Thanks for biography
