Hoess Residence at Auschwitz I

This house is where Rudolph Hoess' family lived while Hoess was the Commodant of the camp. His wife Hedwig and five children lived here thirty meters from the nearest prisoner block and guard tower. The camp crematorium was only 150 meters distant. Prisoners were often assigned household and garden duties.



The recently released film "The Zone of Interest' depicts this bizarre family situation.
