Höß was tracked down while in disguise after the war, and his wedding ring was found to contain his name, resulting in his arrest. Höß attempted suicide via cyanide capsule when he was arrested, but this was unsuccessful and he was charged with mass murder, genocide and [[crimes against humanity]]. He was convicted, despite attempts to have his interrogators arrested for alleged [[torture]], and affidavits he signed were used to prosecute [[Oswald Pohl]] and [[Adolf Eichmann]]. Höß was hanged at Auschwitz in 1947, before his execution he returned to the Catholic Church and received the sacrament of penance from Fr. Władysław Lohn S.J., provincial of the Polish Province of the Society of Jesus. On the next day, the same priest administered to him Holy Communion as Viaticum.
