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.
