Leopold Goeth (represented
in German as Göth pronounced [ˈɡøːt]) (11 December 1908 – 13 September
1946) was an SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain) and the commandant of the
Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland during
World War II. He was tried as a war criminal after the war by the Supreme
National Tribunal of Poland at Kraków and was found guilty of personally
ordering the imprisonment, torture, and extermination of individuals and groups
of people. He was also convicted of homicide, the first such conviction at a
war crimes trial, for "personally killing, maiming and torturing a
substantial, albeit unidentified number of people". He was executed by
hanging not far from the former site of the Płaszów camp. The film Schindler's
List depicts his practice of shooting camp internees.
