(spelled in some English sources as
Goeth) (11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an Austrian
SS-
Hauptsturmführer (captain) and the commandant of the
Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp in
Plaszów in
German-occupied Poland for most of the camp's existence 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 Plaszów camp. The film
Schindler's List (1993) depicts his practice of shooting camp internees.
