Hedwig and Rudolf Höss live with their children in a dream house – surrounded by an idyllic garden and a picturesque lake where families bathe and picnic in peace. The occasional screams, gunshots and oven noises are of no consequence to them in their own little paradise. On the contrary, as a Nazi commander, Rudolf Höss appreciates his short commute to work. For directly behind the garden wall of his magnificent house is the Auschwitz concentration camp.
