Execution of Johann Schwarzhuber - Bestial NAZI Butcher of Ravensbrück - Auschwitz/Kaufering/ Dachau

Johann Schwarzhuber was born on 29 August 1904 in Tutzing, then part of the German Empire. Soon after their assumption of power in January 1933, Nazi leaders began to make good on their pledge to persecute German Jews. During the first six years of Hitler’s dictatorship, from 1933 until the outbreak of war in 1939, Jews felt the effects of more than 400 decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. Nazi propaganda played an integral role in advancing the persecution and ultimately the destruction of Europe’s Jews. It created an atmosphere tolerant of violence against Jews and also encouraged passivity and acceptance of the impending measures against them, as these appeared to depict the Nazi government as stepping in and “restoring order.” An integral feature of the regime in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945 were concentration camps. The major purpose of the earliest concentration camps during the 1930s was to imprison and intimidate the leaders of political, social, and cultural movements that the Nazis perceived to be a threat to the survival of the regime. Johann Schwarzhuber trained as a printer and in April 1933 he joined the Nazi Party and the SS. Schwarzhuber’s career in concentration camps began at Dachau. Established in March 1933, it was the first regular concentration camp built by the Nazi government.
