What did the Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf Hoess confess about the Auschwitz camp?
Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf Hoess signed two confessions. The first confession was while a captive of the British. This confession was read to him at one of the Nuremberg trials at which time he testified the content of the confession to be true.
