Amon Goeth was an Austrian ‘Nazi’ officer who was in charge of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Poland during World War II. He was responsible for the imprisonment, torture, and death of countless people and later became known as the enemy of Oskar Schindler, the industrialist who helped Jews during the Holocaust. When the war was over, he was judged for his crimes and convicted by the ‘Supreme National Tribunal’ of Poland. He was hanged to death near the location of the former camp. Many remember his name from the 1993 movie ‘Schindler’s List,’ where his character was played by Ralph Fiennes.
