"ONE of the last stops on my chilling tour of Hitler’s death camp at Auschwitz was the gallows from which Rudolf Hoess, the camp’s commandant was hanged in 1947. It was positioned deliberately so that the Nazi’s last view would be of the long, wide path to the family house called “paradise” in which he lived like a king with his wife.Seven decades later, our guide told us, Hoess’s descendants are still on the make, trying to exploit Auschwitz and the memory of the 1.1 million who died there . Last year Hoess’s grandson, Reiner Hoess, made a quite extraordinary offer to those guarding the memories of more than six million Holocaust victims: the Y ad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem could have his grandfather’s personal artefacts, including a gift to his grandfather from Hitler’s SS henchman Heinrich Himmler, for a fee."
