Rating:  Summary: Is worth it, but still, you wonder why? Review: You wish, when you read books of this type, to be looking at events that no longer can take place in this planet, that hate for the sake of hate, and greed to obtain authority and power, are matters of the past. Sadly, even when a person like Höss who truly believed to be a decent human being, places before your eyes his dark side, in an attempt to explain why he became what he became, you still can not understand which is the side of the conscience that shuts down to consider normal the destruction of other beings, just because a leader or a newspaper says that we shall hate them.The world is so estrange that right now, after the Jews suffered such terrible prosecution and destruction, many of the now citizens of Israel do not have any inconvenience to kill, humiliate or exploit their fellow neighbors and bothers of Palestina, just because they are afraid of them. Höss was also afraid of the Jews but such fear does not justify his actions. Why do we still believe that fear is a just cause for our abuses is something that neither this book nor any lecture about political struggles will show us. Only if we look into our heart we will found out that fear is an unfounded emotion. Therefore, also all the actions based on it.
