On March 11, 1946, the British took Höss into custody and immediately began questioning him. Höss signed a statement under oath in German (later given document number NO-1210 by the IMT) on March 14 (March 15?) at 2:30 in the morning. Two days later on March 16, Höss signed a statement under oath in English: Höss later signed an affidavit that was ...
Given the magnitude of the crime, and Höss' position as one of the leaders of the alleged perpetrators, it is not surprising that historians have made widespread use of Höss' testimonies. Raul Hilberg, who had relied on Höss extensively in the first edition of his book, The Destruction of the European Jews, testified under oath at the 1985 trial of...
Arbitrarily “correcting” dates contained in Höss' testimony to support the standard version of Holocaust extermination claims creates new problems. In 1940, Höss was made Commandant of the then-new Auschwitz facility. In March 1941, Himmler made his first inspection, and three months later Germany invaded the Soviet Union. In 1942, construction sta...
We now know that Höss was beaten almost to death by Jewish members of the British Field Police upon capture. His captors threatened to deport Höss' wife and children to Siberia, and Höss himself was badly mistreated until he gave his “affidavit” and “testimony.” One of Höss' torturers told what happened during those three days: He also spoke of his...
Few historians have been willing to examine the implications of Höss' torture. Raul Hilberg, who quotes Höss 42 times in the first edition of his book, The Destruction of European Jews, testified when cross-examined by Doug Christie in the 1985 trial of Ernst Zündel that he failed to mention the fact that Höss had been tortured in his 800-page book...
The lack of care with which many historians approach Holocaust sources such as the Höss affidavit shows the intensity of the ideological forces promoting Holocaust extermination claims — right or wrong. For more than 30 years, Rudolf Höss has been the best witness to Auschwitz gassing claims. In many ways, the entire weight of claims of mass gassin...
Affidavit by Rudolf Hoess, the Commandant of Auschwitz from 1940-1943, taken at Nuremberg in April 1946. Includes mimeograph version and photocopies of versions in German and Russian.
In his affidavit made at Nuremberg on 5 April 1946, Höss stated: "I commanded Auschwitz until 1 December 1943, and estimate that at least 2,500,000 victims were executed and exterminated there by gassing and burning, and at least another half million succumbed to starvation and disease, making a total of about 3,000,000 dead.
