Published
Execution of Paul Götze - Bestial German Nazi Guard at Auschwitz Concentration Camp - Holocaust. Paul Götze was born on the 13th November 1903 and in 1937 Götze joined the Nazi Party and in 1942 he joined the SS. In July 1942 he was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp where he committed his worst crimes.
On one occasion he was seen hitting one inmate with his rifle butt for having lifted half smoked cigarette. In February 1943 Paul Götze was promoted to block leader. He took active parts in selections on the rail ramp and actively participated in taking prisoners – especially Jews and those who were sick - to the gas chambers. During these actions, especially when unloading transports and loading victims on trucks to be murdered in gas chambers, Götze was extremely brutal and was seen beating and kicking them.
The SS guards were able to dominate and control the camp’s large populations with the help of the kapos. The kapos were prisoners in Nazi camps who were selected by the SS to supervise the other camp’s inmates.
Götze also took part in the liquidation of the so-called “Gypsy Family Camp”.
After the end of the war, Paul Götze was finally to face justice and pay for his crimes. He was tried at the Auschwitz Trial which began in November, 1947 and lasted one month.
On the 22nd of December, 1947, the Polish Supreme National Tribunal in Krakow sentenced Götze to death by hanging.
