Character Biography
The Executioner is a Jewish young man who was imprisoned during the Holocaust and was picked from the prisoners to serve the Nazis to be a Sonderkommando because of his good health condition and strong body. As a Sonderkommando he couldnt refuse the tasks given to him such as greeting the new arrivals, lying to them and saying that they would take a shower before receiving food and drink while they are being taken to the gas chambers. He used to help the guards throw the Zyklon B, the gas used in the chambers, come back later to remove the bodies and take them to the Crematoria and cremate the bodies after shaving them, extracting their gold teeth and taking any valuables. After 4 months of work, he knew that he was due to be murdered so that Nazis make sure no information reaches the outside and successfully escaped to Britain, though he was elected to be a Sonderkommando for his good health, the Sonderkommandos were never given masks to wear before entering the chambers to remove the corpse, and this affected his physical and mental health gradually.
