Heinrich Himmler

Himmler was the key and senior Nazi official responsible for conceiving and overseeing implementation of the so called Final Solution (the Nazi plan to murder the Jews of Europe). He studied agronomy in college and joined the Nazi party in 1923. He was one of the people that were held mostly responsible for the Holocaust.

Heinrich Himmler was the Reich Leader of the dreaded SS of the Nazi party from 1929 until 1945. He was the second most powerful man in Germany during World War 2. As a director and overseer of the concentration camps he killed over six million Jews. Himmler was selected by Hitler to be his personal body guard. He was seen untouchable to many people. At the end of the war Heinrich attempted to go in to hiding but was arrested by British forces once his identity became known. While in British command he committed suicide on may 23 1945.
