The Most Beautiful Nazi Beast Who Was Known For Her Brutality
The cruelty of Irma Grese — one of the Nazis’ most feared guards.
The Auschwitz authorities had foreseen that Irma Grese was not an ordinary woman, although she looked dainty and sensitive.
Grese went to become one of the most brutal of Nazi concentration camp wardens and earned the infamous titles like “the beautiful beast” and “the hyena”.
Grese was selected to serve as the warden of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, located in Northern Germany despite her young age.
Bergen-Belsen was an all-female concentration camp which made Grese’s appointment as the warden plausible.
The Conditions of Camp
Bergen-Belsen was a “residence camp” and was used for housing prisoners of war. There were tens of thousands of prisoners at the camp who were Jewish, Roman, lesbians, and disabled.
The camp was allotted very scarce food and water resources which eventually led to the death of dozens of women every month.
