Richard Böck (born 1906) was an SS guard at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. After the Second World War, he was among the few former SS members who openly testified about the mass killings there, serving as a witness against chief SS perpetrators at the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials in 1964.

He also described how, on another occasion, he had an

He also described how, on another occasion, he had an opportunity to witness a mass killing in the gas chambers directly, expressing his horror at seeing the pile of dead bodies when the doors of the gas chamber were reopened. Böck later repeated his testimony in interviews for the British TV documentary The World at War in 1972. (en)
