Hanns and Rudolf: The True Story of the German Jew Who Tracked Down and Caught the Kommandant of Auschwitz

Thomas Harding (Get this book)
British documentary filmmaker and journalist Harding traces the lives of Auschwitz Kommandant Rudolf Hoss and Hanns Alexander, a Jewish refugee from Nazism who hunted him down and brought him to justice. Harding's portrayal of both men's lives before the war sets the scene for the hunt and its aftermath. The protagonists' individual choices and family backgrounds give this biographical history a unique, intimate quality.--Kirkus
