When you see the photo below, what do you think of first?
It was indeed a beautiful girl, and even on the rough black-and-white photographs of the time, it was still impossible to hide her beauty. Beautiful girls are usually very cute, but if the words "beauty" and "butcher" are linked together, I am afraid that most people will have a strong sense of discomfort. But the girl in the photo is such a person, although she looks very beautiful, but her ferocity will probably make everyone frightened, her crime and her beauty are completely incompatible, even God will not forgive!
Her name was Irma Grese, a Nazi SS guard and director of the women's department at Bergen-Belsen, nicknamed "dieHy nevon Auschwitz" by prisoners at Swaising, who was sentenced to death for atrocities at the time of the liquidation of Nazi crimes after World War II, at the age of 22, the youngest female executor in 20th-century British law.
So, what did she do?
In fact, she herself was not born in some great evil family. She was born in 1923 into a family of dairy workers and started out as a nursing student. According to her sister's recollection, irma did not participate when the girls quarreled and fought at school, but only ran away. It can be seen that when she was a teenager, she was not violent.
She left school in 1938 to work in agriculture on a farm for 6 months, then in a shop in Lychen for 6 months. At the age of 15 she went to a hospital, where she spent two years trying to become a nurse, but the labor exchange did not allow this. In July 1942, she tried again to become a nurse, but the Labor Exchange sent her to the school of the SS Auxiliary Guard for classes and practice. Although at first, she didn't want to stay there. And at that moment, her father, a fierce anti-Nazi, abandoned her.
It turned out that the labor exchange had made an extremely wrong decision.
In Germany at that time, Nazi fanaticism was rampant, and more than 2.3 million German women joined the Nazi Party and various fascist groups such as the Hitlerist Youth and the German Girls' Union. She also became a Nazi fanatic, active in the Hitler Youth and the Germany of Girls as a teenager.
Irma's training base is close to The Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, a German concentration camp dedicated to women between 1939 and 1945 in northern Germany. The camp memorial estimates that there were 132,000 women in the camp during the war, including 48,500 Poles, 28,000 Soviets, nearly 24,000 Germans and Austrians, nearly 8,000 Frenchmen and thousands of others, including some British and Americans. There are more than 20,000 Jews here.
In the concentration camp, Irma's ferocity was revealed, and she learned all kinds of ways to torture female prisoners. In March 1943, Irma completed her training and moved to the famous Auschwitz concentration camp.
Her brutality incorporates many feminine features, for example, she is more violent towards beautiful female prisoners. Irma often beat these poor female prisoners to death with a leather whip, and even prisoners with average appearance but a pair of plump breasts would be regarded as a big rebel by Glazer, and Irma even used her own whip to suck the breasts of these women and then slaughter them.
For pregnant women, she would kick them in the stomach with her feet and make them die alive, and she thought that the children born of these people might be more beautiful than hers.
Only the old, thin, dragging women with children and daughters will she have no interest. Of course, this in no way meant that she would spare their lives, she simply handed them over to her subordinates and then executed them "in the normal way" (with poison gas). As long as it was an order to kill, she did not hesitate to sign it.
The reason why she is so cruel, in addition to the fanaticism of the Nazis, is also the jealousy of some women, because she originally had a lover, Dr. Menger of the concentration camp, but Dr. Menger was a bit careless, and often mixed with some beautiful women in the concentration camp...
So, in anger, she tortured all her "love enemies" to death, broke up with Menger, and became more and more perverted.
In Auschwitz, she was known for her beauty among both prisoners and guards, but she was better known for her cruelty.
In early 1945, Irma was evacuated to Ravensbrook again with prisoners from Auschwitz. In March 1945, she went with a large number of prisoners from Ravensbruck to Bergen-Belsen, the last concentration camp she worked in, where she invented a method of torture that was to wait for a pregnant prisoner to give birth, tie the baby's legs together, and witness the baby's death.
On 17 April 1945, she was captured by the British Army that had invaded the area.
In August 1945, she was in prison
Her crimes were soon exposed and she was tried after the war. During the first phase of the trial (17 September to 17 November 1945), she was charged with ill-treatment and murder of persons imprisoned in the camps, in accordance with the provisions of the 1929 Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners, and the survivors provided detailed testimony, overwhelming evidence. The whole society was in an uproar – this beautiful young girl was such a fierce person.
After a nine-week trial, she was sentenced to death, a rare female death row inmate. But at the time the verdict was read, Irma was the only prisoner to say the appeal. Of course, her appeal was dismissed.
On December 13, 1945, she was executed.
