Amon Leopold Goeth (represented in German as Göth ) (11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain) and the commandant of the Nazi labour and concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland during World War II. He was tried as a war criminal after the war. After the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland at Kraków found him guilty of murdering tens of thousands of people, he was executed by hanging not far from the former site of the Płaszów camp. The film Schindler's List depicts his occasional practice of shooting camp internees for sport.
