Execution of the "Butcher of Płaszów" - Nazi Commandant of the Płaszów camp - Amon Goeth

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....
