The Hyena of Auschwitz

 



Irma Grese was just a teenage high school dropout when she found purpose and meaning in the Reich, as a concentration camp guard. The job suited her and she rose in rank, moving from the women's hell that was Ravensbruck to Auschwitz.





As the "Hyena of Auschwitz," Irma unleashed plebian fury on the unfortunates under her care. You can imagine what that looked like, up to and including lampshades made of human skin. Picture, if you like, the women kicked to death by Irma's hobnailed boots as they stood naked on roll call in freezing rain.



The Hyena was arrested by British forces in Spring 1945. She was hanged in the December of that year, 22 years old. Quite right too.
