Hans Michael Frank (23 May 1900 – 16 October 1946) was a German lawyer who
worked for the Nazi party during the 1920s and 1930s, and later became Hitler’s
personal lawyer. After Hitler’s ascension to power in 1933, Frank became Nazi
Germany’s chief jurist and Governor-General of occupied Poland’s ‘General
Government’ territory. During his tenure (1939–1945), he instituted a reign of
terror against the civilian population, systematic plunder and brutal economic
exploitation and became directly involved in the mass murder of Polish citizens. At
the Nuremberg trials, he was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against
humanity and was executed.
