The story
In 1943, Rudolf Höss, commandant of the German Nazi Auschwitz concentration camp, lives with his wife Hedwig and their five children in an idyllic home next to the camp.
Beyond the garden wall, gunshots, screaming, and the sounds of trains and furnaces are often audible.
On another day, he chastises SS personnel for damaging lilac bushes around the camp, heavily implied to be related to the sexual abuse of prisoners.
