Sereny/Into that Darkness

Abstract: A 5 page essay that looks at Gitta Sereny's text Into That Darkness, From Mercy Killing to Mass Murder (1974), which is an account of the life and choices of Franz Stangl, commandant of the Nazi death camps, Sobibor and Treblinka. Told largely in Stangl's own words, this is a highly intimate portrait of a mass murderer. The writer discusses the choices that Stangl made which led him down this path. No additional sources cited.
