Before his execution, Rudolf Hoss, the commandant for Auschwitz, met with Polish Jesuit priest Wladyslaw Lohn, uttering a 4-hour confession after which he received communion. We have access to selections of Hoss's confession through his published memoirs. Bernauer has composed an imaginative diary of how the priest might have scrutinized the meeting. Raises haunting questions about forgiveness. 200 pages, softcover. Orbis.
