Hoess's frightening, cold blooded account of his life and of his role at Auschwitz, the methods used to kill its inmates, including his adoption of Zyklon B or Cyclon B, to gas them. A repulsive telling by one of Nazi Germany's most extreme participants who showed no remose for his crimes. The autobiography was written while captive by the Poles. He was subsequently hanged by them at Auschwitz. First published in Poland in 1951. Introduction by Lord Russell of Liverpool. 8vo. Black cloth, silver title to spine. pp.[1-14], 15-252, including index. With 13 b&w photographic illus. A well kept copy, the dust jacket enclosed in a removable transparent sleeve. There is some minor tape residue to front flyleaf and likewise to rear blank, although there are no tape marks whatsoever to the jacket itself. The jacket with minor edgewear; the page edges show a little discolouration. Overall, a firm, clean copy, of a somewhat uncommon title, especially so in the jacket, with no flaws of note and no ownership marks.…
