  • Execution of Amon Goeth - Extremely Sadistic Nazi Commandant of Płaszów Concentration Camp - WW2. Amon Göth, the only child of Catholic parents, was born on the 11 December 1908 in Vienna then part of Austria-Hungary. The Second World War began on the 1st of September, 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. On the following year Göth joined the SS in which he reached the rank of SS-Hauptsturmführer. When in the summer of 1942 the Nazis began deporting Jews from ghettos in the General gouvernement to extermination camps, Göth was sent to SS headquarters in Lublin where he joined the staff of Odilo Globočnik, the SS and Police Leader of the Kraków area. As part of Operation Reinhard, which was a codename for the systematic extermination of the Jews in the General Government district of German-occupied Poland, three killing centers were established: Bełżec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Göth was responsible for rounding up and transporting victims to these camps to be murdered.
    Amon Göth’s next assignment, starting on 11 February 1943, was to oversee the construction of the 200 acre Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp, which he was to command. In his inaugural address as commandant he said to the prisoners: “ I am your God”.
    The Płaszów camp was established in 1942 under the authority of the SS and police leaders in Kraków. It was initially a forced-labor camp for Jews. The original site of the camp included two Jewish cemeteries. From time to time the SS enlarged the camp and it reached its maximum size in 1944, the same year that it became a concentration camp. Until that time, most of the camp guards were Ukrainian police auxiliaries chosen from among the Soviet soldiers in German prisoner-of-war camps and trained at the Trawniki training camp in Lublin.
    Płaszów camp was surrounded by an electrified barbed-wired fence and was divided into several sections. The camp had barracks for German personnel, factories, warehouses, a men's camp and a women's camp, and a "labor education camp" for Polish workers who violated labor discipline. Poles and Jews were segregated within the camp and the largest number of people confined in Płaszów at any one time was over 20,000. Thousands were killed there, mostly by shooting.
    Everyday life in the camp was subject to Göth's strict rules and was characterized by arbitrary executions, harassment, humiliation and torture by himself or by the guards. After morning roll call, the prisoners were herded to their assigned jobs. Escape attempts or sabotage were generally punishable by death, while food smuggling was punishable by 100 lashes. Successful escape attempts were punished with the execution of every tenth prisoner in the escapee's group and it was not uncommon for Göth to perform the executions personally. He believed that with such measures he could demonstrate his ideas for order and discipline in a memorable way.
    One of Göth's specialties was to shoot at prisoners in the morning from balcony of the villa which was specially renovated for him. Sometimes he shot people from the window of his office if they appeared to be moving too slowly or resting in the yard.
    Before World War II, about 25,000 Jews lived in Tarnów, a city in southern Poland, 45 miles east of Kraków. Jews-whose recorded presence in the town went back to the mid-fifteenth century-comprised about half of the town's total population.
    Deportations from Tarnów began in June 1942, when about 13,500 Jews were sent to the Belzec killing center. During the deportation operations, German SS and police forces massacred hundreds of Jews in the streets, in the marketplace, in the Jewish cemetery, and in the woods outside the town.
    After the June deportations, the Germans ordered the surviving Jews in Tarnów, along with thousands of Jews from the neighboring towns, into a ghetto. The ghetto was surrounded by a high wooden fence. Living conditions in the ghetto were poor, marked by severe food shortages, a lack of sanitary facilities, and a forced-labor regimen in factories and workshops producing goods for the German war industry....

One of the Schindlerjuden, who visited the filming site, Mila Pfefferberg, was so terrified of how much he reminded her of Goeth that she basically had an anxiety attack. Julius Madritsch, whose factory I see you mentioned in the video, was also named one of the Righteous Among the Nations for his efforts in saving Jews.

    From watching many videos about the Nazi regime, it seems that those men or women who had reputations for particular viciousness also were named as sexual deviants or had certain sexual proclivities. Evidently there is a connection between the need to harm others and abnormal sexual expression or activity.

After Mussolini was killed and the Eastert Front collapsed he fled to Spain, and then to the US. He never felt guilt for his crimes, and was never charged for them. He owned a successful lumber business in New York state until a few years after he died.

    Interesting and very well presented and researched. Just one quibble, strictly speaking, at 11.44 Belzec was a death camp or extermination camp, not a concentration camp (the narrator said correctly "killing centre"). People were sent to Belzec to be gassed. It was not a labour camp. There were two other camps like Belzec - Treblinka and Sobibor. Auschwitz-Birkenau, for example, was both a concentration camp and a death camp. But enjoyed the video and I learned a lot of things I didn't know!

    • @jfournerat1274
      @jfournerat1274 9 місяців тому +1

      That is indeed true. Belzec was a killing center where almost all people sent there were killed on arrival with very few people being selected for forced labor and they were only kept alive to work for the Nazis against their will. Of the between 434.000 and 500.000 people who were sent to Belzec there were only around 7 survivors and they only survived because they were able to escape from Belzec. In addition it was the same case in the Sobibor and Treblinka killing centers. 1.1 million people were sent to Sobibor and Treblinka and were then killed in both of the killing centers with 250.000 people being killed in Sobibor and 925.000 people being killed in Treblinka. While the survivors of Sobibor and Treblinka were more survivors than from Belzec there were still only around 120 survivors of both of the killing centers combined.

They meet one another, and tour Amon and Ruth’s (his mistress…the dark haired woman shown with his dogs) house, there on the camp. The house still stands and the title implies that this is Monika’s inheritance. The knowledge that both of her parents were monsters. Monika speaks at schools and colleges on behalf of the horrors committed by the father she never met. It is truly the best documentary I have ever seen.

      Mental illness seems to be the only explanation. SS doctors diagnosis of his mental illness in 1944 is not specified but clearly he was psychopathic. From one report by a member of his camp household, I suspect he had voices in his head goading him into killing. That household member reported she noticed a change in his behaviour prior to him murdering another prisoner - he would don an Austrian hunting cap prior to looking for another victim. For clarity, I am not attempting to provide excuses for his murderous, sadistic behaviour.

    Even if you think Ralph Fiennes did a perfect job to portray this monster...the monster was even more cruel than shown in the movie. Why hasnt't his real cruelty been shown? Because people would think that never happened.

    I don't understand how a subordinate junior officer can even be turned into a war hero? After all, he only followed orders. This is one of the many uninteresting characters of those years.

    Each second in eternal hellfire is more painful for him than the moment when he was hanged.
    Matthew 25:41: "Then shall HE say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"

    16:04 "There were no tears shed for Amon Goeth". I think if nobody and no-one likes you when you go, you have failed utterly and completely. That's the sole barometer of your life, ultimately.
