Starvation is a slow, painful way to die. And unlike bombs and tanks, it’s easy for western leaders to ignoreI recently looked up a biography of Rudolf Höss. The Kommandant who led the Auschwitz prison camp in Poland during the second world war was fastidious in his duties. He successfully oversaw the extermination of millions of people from 1940 to 1943, and, according to accounts, seems to have been a father who cared for his five children. His home life was imagined, and captured, by the film-maker Jonathan Glazer in his 2023 movie The Zone of Interest.John Primomo recounts, in his biography, how the Nazi would randomly select groups of prisoners and sentence them to die by starvation.
