September 25, 1881 - Hans Helwig
His career traced a path through the institutional core of the Nazi system — from early party membership to command of a concentration camp — making him part of the administrative apparatus that made mass atrocity possible. The roles he occupied were not incidental; they placed him at successive points of enforcement and control within a regime built on systematic violence.
