Publisher's Synopsis

In the days of WW2, there was a beautiful girl. It was Irma Grese, who can claim the fame of being the youngest Nazi activist to be hanged. She was a female guard at the Bergen-Belsen women's camp in Auschwitz. Irma, who had a nature of touch-me-not throughout her childhood, transformed into a face of cruelty at the speed of the wind.

Her sister Helena's memoirs suggest that Grese's life was changed by the things such as SS, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi part, Ravensbruck, etc. The effects brought by the Belsen Trial, Bergen-Belsen camps, training at Ravensbruck, days at Hohenlychen, etc. in Irma Grese's life are not trivial. This book elaborates on the factors she was involved in during the war mentioned above. It gives readers an idea of what led to her transformation, as well as her main background, World War II and the Holocaust. Through this, you can also understand her personality type ESTJ.

Because she was a demonic face of the brutality of war crimes, she had famous nicknames like "The Beautiful Beast", "The Hyena of Auschwitz", and "The Beast of Belson". "The Hyena of Auschwitz" was the adjective the inmates gave her for the cruel ways she treated prisoners.

Irma Ilse Ida Grese was hanged when she was just 22 years old.
