Book Synopsis
"Uncle Fritz is back from France - in a zinc coffin!" The biography of the German SS officer and Auschwitz commander Friedrich "Fritz" Hartjenstein begins with this scene from October 1954. He was sentenced to death three times for his actions. After nine years in prison, he was pardoned shortly before his death. In his hometown, Peine in Lower Saxony, Hartjenstein's fate is still unknown today. Only his great-nephew Werner H. has been trying for decades to research the dramatic life of his great-uncle and his involvement in National Socialist crimes. In a rousing report, Jürgen Gückel reconstructs the unique life of the concentration camp commandant Friedrich Hartjenstein.
