Following the Second World War, a number of war crimes trials took place which aimed to punish the major perpetrators of the atrocities and horrors committed by the Nazis. Many commandants of former concentration camps such as Rudolf Hoess were brought to justice for their crimes, and eventually were taken to gallows to be executed. One of the most despicable commandants who ran a concentration camp was Amon Göth. Göth was the commandant of the Krakow-Plaszow Concentration Camp, and his crimes were endless.
He would shoot at prisoners inside of his camp from the balcony of his villa on a daily basis, picking them off with his rifle like they were game. He was also known for executing prisoners without any justification, just randomly shooting prisoners whenever he pleased. Göth was a truly terrifying SS commandant, and whenever he was seen it was associated with murder and death. He was involved in the liquidation of many Polish ghettos in which his camp absorbed many prisoners who were worked to death, and he was in charge of sending many to extermination camps where they would be murdered in minutes of arrival. Göth was responsible for the deaths of thousands during the Holocaust.
He was eventually sacked as the commandant as he was deemed too violent, and was deemed to have stolen property from the Nazis. He was then taken to trial after the end of the war inside of Poland. He was sentenced to death and was executed a short distance away from the camp which he oversaw which great brutality. He was one of the most disgusting perpetrators of the Holocaust.
