Film tells story of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss

It was a well-appointed family home that was close to both picturesque countryside and the focal point of the Nazi death machine.

The villa lived in by leading Nazi Rudolf Höss with his wife and five children was just outside the walls of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where more than one million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust.

Now a new film available in the UK later this year tells the story of the Auschwitz commandant's time in Nazi-occupied with his family, including the picnics they enjoyed at the local river.
