[back] Auschwitz-Birkenau
[She was in charge of supervising around 30,000 women prisoners, mostly Polish and Hungarian Jews, at Birkenau. She was transferred to Bergen-Belsen in March 1945, only a month before the liberation. It was claimed that there were lamp shades, made out of the skins of three women prisoners, found in her room at Birkenau. Sentenced to death by hanging, at 22 years of age, is the youngest woman to die judicially under English law in the 20th century. Numbers had to be put around their necks as the 'witnesses' couldn't identify them otherwise. Similar PSYOP story to Ilse Koch of Buchenwald.]
