As an SS guard, she was responsible for overseeing the brutal treatment of prisoners in the Ravensbrück, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps.
She was known for her cruelty and sadism, and among her victims were women, children, and the elderly.
Some of the accusations against her include having participated in the selection of prisoners for the gas chambers, whipping and beating prisoners, attacking dogs, shooting prisoners for no reason and conducting medical experiments on them.
It was also said that she enjoyed selecting prisoners to punish and carrying out the punishments herself.
The nickname "Auschwitz hyena" indicates the degree of fear and hatred that she inspired in those around her. Her trial and execution served as a powerful reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the need to hold those responsible for her actions to account.
She was found guilty of her crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging at the Belsen trial. She was executed at the age of 22, making her one of the youngest war criminals on death row.
She was executed on December 13, 1945, along with nine other defendants, including Josef Kramer, commander of Bergen-Belsen.
