Johann Schwarzhuber


Johann Schwarzhuber (born August 29, 1904, May 3, 1947) is a Nazi criminal, a Schutzhaftlagerführer in concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Ravensbrück and SS-Hauptsturmführer. Curriculum vitae He came from Tutzing (Bavaria), a member of the NSDAP and SS since April 8, 1933. He joined the camp in 1933 in Dachau as a guard and Blockführer. In Dachau he remained until 1938. From 1938 to 1941 he served as Rapportführer in Sachsenhausen. In August 1941 Schwarzhüber was transferred to Auschwitz, where from March 1942 to November 1944 he was the head of the Birkenau male camp. In November 1944 he was appointed Lagerführer of several sub-camps Dachau - Kaufering. On January 12, 1945 he became head of the Ravensbrück camp and remained in that position until the liberation of the camp on April 29, 1945.

In Brzezinka he conducted numerous selections for gas chambers (which included thousands of prisoners), during which he was usually under the influence of alcohol. At that time, there were also reflexes of sympathy (for example, when he saved several dozen children during the liquidation of a family camp for Jews from Terezin). Schwarzhüber was also known in the camp as a music lover. In Ravensbrück he was directly responsible for gasing the prisoners in the gas chambers of the Uckermark sub-camp, and also directed mass executions.

In 1946, he faced the British Military Tribunal in Hamburg in the first trial of the Ravensbrück crew on charges of killing and abducting prisoners. February 3, 1947 was sentenced to death. Johann Schwarzhüber was executed by hanging in Hameln in early May 1947. Bibliography
