📅 2 April 1947 📍 Poland

Poland’s Supreme National Tribunal sentenced former Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss to death. The camp’s crimes included the mass murder of Sinti and Roma, alongside the much larger murder of Jews and the persecution of other groups. The verdict was an instance of perpetrator accountability; it did not by itself provide compensation or public recognition to every surviving community.
