“Commandant of Auschwitz” is the title of a paperback book to be published here this month. The book will contain the notes made by Rudolf Hoess during the period he was commander of the Auschwitz murder camp, the largest of all the Nazi camps.
Hoess was executed at the camp in 1947 after a war crimes trial. His book, revealing facts on the torture and mass-killing of Jews in his camp, was published previously in the United States.
