There’s a book called “Get Us Out of Here” that will fascinate you. It literally changed my life! No exaggeration. It will change yours also if you start implementing some of her advice about getting masses. It’s about a catholic mystics named Maria Simma interview, and she saw a German Nazi Herman Goring who was saved. I beg you, please get the book and do a video on that book.
i appreciated this video on so many levels the least of which is because of my having a psu degree in history thanks GOD bless you and your work i also admit to being envious of you and your strong faith john
Cameron, the church has not declared him to be a saint (at this time) as you implied in your title. It is not for us to make judgments like this. That is for the church to determine. I would recommend looking through the lives of various saints to show the incredible Divine mercy of God and The importance of a good confession. I would suggest you might want to take this video down because it could cause scandal since you implied that he's a saint when the church has not made any such designation.
Thanks for the comment :) I do not mean he is a Canonized Saint, I simply mean that he apparently made a good confession and died in a state of grace. Anyone in heaven can appositely be called a Saint!
@@CameronRiecker Cameron I don't disagree that anyone who makes a genuine confession has a possibility of being a saint regardless of what their particular sin was. The problem is when people see this they assume you mean a canonized saint. He is not a canonized saint. Honestly I don't think we know what his eternal fate is yet And the only people we can declare to know their eternal fate is if the church itself has declared them to be a saint. We should be careful what we say to avoid causing scandal or confusion. I can't for instance go around telling the story of how a poor farmer became a saint telling the story of my grandfather who was a faithful Catholic from an infant until he died a year ago. I have hope but I can't go around saying that he's a saint unless the church declares him as such.
I also verified this with both an experienced adult faith formation director with his degree from Notre Dame and an order of poor clare nuns. We don't know if he intentionally hid/withheld any sins or about his contrition. We can trust in God's mercy but that is different from how we know someone is a saint. I will keep you in my prayers.

He most probably died in a state of grace, but that does not mean he went straight to heaven. He would have to be granted a complete remission of all punishment due to his sins before death. It's possible: saint Faustina also writes that some people turn to God with such a great love that they are granted a remission of not only guilt but also punishment (Saint Faustina Diary 1698, see also: Catechism of Catholic Church 1472: "A conversion which proceeds from a fervent charity can attain the complete purification of the sinner in such a way that no punishment would remain"). But he would have to have an act of perfect love that suffice for killing of thousands and rest of his sins. It seems also unlikly to be granted a grace of plenary indulgence from the merits of Christ and saints when you have such a great debt and showed no mercy to so many (but not impossible of course: a baptism is an example of such mercy). Sometimes you need a great effort to expel a single sin (Saint Faustina Diary 685). It's possible he went throught a very severe purgatory or still is, maybe he was (or is) in that part of purgatory which is so severe that it is like a temporal hell (see for example: Saint Faustina Diary 426, Sister Mary of the Cross - An Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory).
I have heard this story of Rudolf Hoss before - wonderful example of grace! God is much more merciful than you or I wd have been, I am sure, in judging/forgiving him.
Lol you've just made the most refutable claim in history. 2k an hour is nothing. At the Battle of Cannae (216 BC) Hannibal's forces encircled the Roman army and killed anywhere from 50,000 to 70,000 in an afternoon. Historian Victor David Hansen suggested that at the height of the killing, Romans were being killed 600 a minute, or 36,000 an hour. If they could kill 600 men a minute, who were actively fighting back, 2200 years ago, I think they could kill 2,000 emaciated Jews whose wills had long been broken 80 years ago.
Interesting video, but don't forget how sensitive this topic is. If I were you I would've avoided habits such as smiling during a "We haven't gotten there yet" catch phrase. Also, I think the thumbnail and title for this video are too clickbait-y. Hitler had a lot of close people and different best friends depending on the era. Sure, Höss might've been one of them, but saying he was his best friend for the sake of more clicks isn't right for a video on monsters. Picking a random AI generated guy who looks more like Hitler than Höss also doesn't help.
2,000 per hour? Man those poor guards were probably worked to death trying to drag 2,000 bodies up a flight of stairs and crammed into 5 ovens every hour
The gas chamber capacity at Auschwitz was 4-6 thousand per gassing cycle. They used Jewish slave labor to clean up bodies. Don't think the Germans cared too much if they were tired.
Actually it's worse. They had other prisoners do it. One story was of a man who had to put his own wife's body into a furnace. Look up the Sonderkommandos. It's harrowing stuff
I would respond, but you have shown you're not interested in a dialog. I've left Scripture references to your requests and nothing. Obviously, you only want an echo chamber of your own beliefs
Thanks for the comment :) If you want to talk to me directly you can get my email off of my TH-cam page! I literally don't have time to respond to every comment! God bless you!
@CameronRiecker I prefer to talk on here in the open. That way, others can benefit from the discussion. Maybe don't ask for Scripture references if you don't plan on responding. You've done this at least 3 times
So Hoss repented and return to his Catholic faith which is the ONLY TRUE faith. I didn’t know that Hoss had returned home! I know or believe the Nazi ruler of Poland also returned to his Catholic faith. (it’s annoying I can’t remember his name!). God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!

Glory to Jesus Christ!
God is good and merciful to all who turn to Him!
Just wow. My favorite part "the greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to my mercy"
Amen!!! God is so good.
God's mercy is truly astounding. Praise God!
Amen!
This gives me so much hope
Praise God :)
What a beautiful story of repentance and forgiveness. God's mercy does have no limit. Wept watching this.
God is so good :)
Triune God; One God...have mercy on us.
Holy Virgin; Mother of God...pray for us.
St Joseph; protector of The Child and Virgin; Terror of Demons...pray for us.
Long live God's mercy and love
Amen!!
Wow I had never heard this story. Amazing. So many graces with Saint Maximillian Colby and all of these souls in desperate circumstances. 🙏🏻
I needed this. Thank you 🥹
Mercy is infinite!
Very interesting story. I wonder how many evil people throughout history have truly converted and found the truth towards the end!
This was beautiful
I loved this so much
Thank you :) All glory to Jesus Christ!
As I started listening I was thinking that this conversion MUST have been related to Maximilian Kolbe too!
You were right!
I just discovered your channel today and I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much! I’ve now subscribed.

I heard the Commander of Unit 731, Lt General Shiro Ishii, had a conversion as well. He was baptised Catholic before he died.
This is an amazing story. So many people hate to see this, but God’s mercy is for everybody
Amen!
10/10 video
All glory to Jesus Christ 😁
Where are you getting these numbers from? Are they directly from his notes?
There is one sin that god will not forgive, i think this is embedded in our hears because not even in hollywood movies is it committed.

Please use either canonized saints or people in the canonization process.

I swear if I start seeing apologists for Hitler now. It's over.
No one is defending Hitler. Quite the opposite. We are rejoicing that Nazism was destroyed in this man.
😂 that’s too funny. God forgive for laughing at this comment.
2k an hour? Ugh. This is so tiresome.
