In the war's devastating finale, Europe lay in ruins. As Nazi Germany crumbled, the world discovered the full monstrosity it had bred: concentration camps. These industrialized killing machines were the sites of unimaginable atrocities. Shockingly, some of the guards and overseers in this horrific system were women – a fact that continues to challenge our historical understanding. What was the fate of female Nazi guards?

Nothing should be blurred out to protect anyone's feelings. The reality must be seen by all to understand it. A blurred image does not show the real picture.

Why.....Do you blurr out the images of violence? The young people of today already have a problem believing in these horrific tragedy's and those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

My dad told me about what they found in the camps guarded by women. I think he had nightmares about it for the rest of his life

I would image certain sections of the Sisterhood cannot handle this undeniable fact from history

What is this insane blurring of historical photographs?

I don't think that's Grese getting hanged in the photo. The hangman is an American and so is the knot. Grese was hanged by the British Albert Pierrepoint who used a slipknot instead of the classic hangman's noose.

The barbaric cruelty of these people literally takes your breath away. It's unimaginable to think that people like these specimens could happily inflict such suffering... How did these people think? There were sub humans in those camps, but it wasn't the inmates.

Their fate wasn't brutal compared to those fates of the inmates.

the fact that this video is constantly interupted by lively happy ads spits on the seriousness of this video. sad

Just for the record. In 2:34 you can see a photography of women in nazi uniform holding flowers. That's a shot from Polish movie "The Passenger" made in 1963 by Andrzej Munk. The women is an actress Aleksandra Śląska.

Irma Grese was dubbed the “The Beautiful Beast” too? I thought it was “the Hyena”

They got way too less of them. I have no clue how you can get such a monster, but for many it did not have consequences. Only to them, who did not flee before the camps were occupied.

Read Christopher Browning's Ordinary Men, a startling book.

My stepmother and foster mother were proof of this. They were mean cruel people. Many of things these women were convicted of were things done to my older brother and I. My brother and I were kept in a basement for the better part of 3 years. We slept on the floor our food was placed on top step. We were not allowed to eat we the rest of the family. We were beaten regularly during those years. I was 3 my brother 4. Beaten with anything close at hand. Out father abandoned us on my 6th and given refuge with his younger sister. It wasn't any better.
