Amon Göth

Amon Göth was an Austrian SS agent and war criminal who served as the commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland for most of the camp's existence during World War II. Göth was tried 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 large groups of people. He was executed by hanging. The 1993 Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List", in which Göth is portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, depicts his running of the Płaszów concentration camp.
