Hans Frank was a German political leader and lawyer who was also the governor-general of Poland during World War II. He was one of the key members of the ‘German Workers’ Party’ (which later became the ‘Nazi Party’). He served as the party’s chief legal counsel and then became Hitler’s personal lawyer. Frank also held important posts, such as those of the president of the ‘Reichstag’ and the minister of justice in ‘Nazi’ Germany. He was behind the murders of countless Jews in Poland, leading to the extermination of almost the entire community. Following the war, Frank was tried in the ‘Nuremberg Trials.’ Though he expressed genuine remorse for what had happened in ‘Nazi’ Germany and claimed that he had no knowledge of the death camps until much later, he was found guilty of war crimes and was later hanged to death.
