Wilhelm Friedrich Boger
Wilhelm Friedrich Boger was an SS-Oberscharführer and a key figure in the first Auschwitz trial, known for his role as a torturer at the Auschwitz concentration camp. During the trial, he infamously claimed that he did not kill but merely followed orders, embodying the chilling detachment of many perpetrators during the Holocaust. His trial highlighted the complexities of guilt and accountability in the context of the Holocaust, as none of the accused showed remorse or confessed to their actions.
