Rudolf Beckmann (20 February 1910[1][2] – 14 October 1943) was a German SS-Oberscharführer in the Sobibor extermination camp.
Beckmann worked initially in the cremation process at the Nazi Action T4 killing centers of Grafeneck Castle and Hadamar Euthanasia Centre, where the disabled were gassed.
After the Jews had arrived on the ramp, they were forced to strip naked and put all of their clothes and luggage to the side.
Then came the command of Rudolf Beckmann and Paul Groth; all papers, documents and objects that were not in the sorting barracks were stuffed in bags and brought to the cremation ground.
[5] Chaim Engel volunteered to kill Beckmann in his office, after overhearing the conspirators discussing the situation.
