Hedwig Höss, the wife of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, lived with her five children in a spacious villa only meters from the crematoria where more than one million people were murdered. While prisoners were starved, beaten, and killed, she created a comfortable family home filled with gardens, flowers, stolen possessions, and servants drawn from the camp's prisoners. She later described Auschwitz as "paradise on earth."

Explore Hedwig Höss's life, from her early involvement in the nationalist Artaman League and marriage to Rudolf Höss to her years at Auschwitz, where she embraced Nazi ideology, benefited from property stolen from Jewish victims, supervised prisoner labour, and raised her children beside one of history's deadliest extermination camps. The documentary also examines her relationships, life after the collapse of the Third Reich, her role in Rudolf Höss's capture, and the complete lack of remorse she displayed until her death in 1989.
