Georg Bonigut
Georg Bonigut , also Paul Bonigut (born December 13, 1913 in Ruma , Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia , Austria-Hungary ; † unknown) was an SS-Unterscharfuhrer who belonged to the Waffen-SS as a so-called Volksdeutscher from Yugoslavia during World War II . From April 1944 to the beginning of August he was the camp leader of the " Auschwitz Gypsy Camp ".
In mid-May 1944, Bonigut warned inmates he knew about the planned liquidation of the camp, which subsequently failed due to the inmates' resistance. The "gypsy camp" was liquidated at the beginning of August 1944; H. the prisoners who were able to work were transported to other camps, those unable to work were murdered in the gas chambers at Auschwitz . At this time Bonigut had reported sick, so that SS-Unterscharführer Fritz Buntrock took the people to the gas chambers.
After the end of the "gypsy camp " Bonigut headed the subcamp KL Auschwitz III Charlottengrube in Rydułtowy (German: Rydultau) , located in Upper Silesia . The satellite camp was about 50 km west of the main camp and belonged to the Hermann Göring works . From September 19, prisoners from Auschwitz were deployed here. After four to six weeks, Bonigut was replaced as camp manager by Alfred Tschiersky , but then worked as a report manager in the Charlottengrube subcamp and also carried out administrative activities there.
After the end of the war , Bonigut was investigated in Germany, but the proceedings were discontinued in 1982.
