35. Rainer Hoess
No grave marks Rudolph Hoess’ final resting place, but if there was one, his grandson Rainer Hoess has no doubt what he would do if he came across it: “I would spit on it“. Growing up, Rainer’s father and Rudolph Hoess’ son Hans-Jurgen had dismissed the allegations against the Auschwitz Kommandant as fake news and victor’s justice. Rainer became the only Hoess descendant to publicly denounce the family’s most infamous member. For that, he is viewed as a traitor by his relatives. Undaunted, Rainer speaks at dozens of schools each year, warning children about far-right parties and the kinds of people they produce – like his grandfather.
