About this Exploration: "I hanged those ten Nazis... and I am proud of it... I wasn't nervous.... A fellow can't afford to have nerves in this business.... I want to put in a good word for those G.I.s who helped me... they did swell.... I am trying to get [them] a promotion.... The way I look at this hanging job, somebody has to do it. I got into it kind of by accident, years ago in the States...." A quote from hangman Woods after carrying out the executions of ten convicted German Main War Criminals at the Nuremberg Trials. Though most online reports claim his grave remains unknown, he is buried at the Toronto Cemetery. |
