DIGGING UP Irma Grese - Exhuming The Evil Female Concentration Camp Guard

Irma Grese was one of the most notorious and brutal female concentration camp guards of the Second World War. She was known as 'The Beautiful Beast,' and was a cold-blooded killer and sadist who would inflict great suffering onto the prisoners of Ravensbruck, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. She was responsible for the deaths of thousands, and would execute inmates with her bare hands. At the end of the war she was brought to trial at the Belsen Trials, and was one of three women who were executed for their crimes.
It was British executioner Albert Pierrepoint that condemned Irma Grese on the gallows at Hamelin Prison. But she was then buried in a grave inside of the prison courtyard, a short distance from the execution chamber. However this was not the end of Irma Grese' story, as she was then exhumed within a decade of her death and was moved to a different burial ground, along with many other executed Nazi war criminals.

My grandmother was a Polish Jew, imprisoned in a concentration camp called Gabersdorf, a satellite camp of Groß-Rosen, which was based in what was then Czechoslovakia. She was always telling me that the female guards were more violent and sadistic than the male guards. They’d shower women outside in the cold with cold water. You’d automatically assume a woman to be kinder to other women but no- they were all evil beasts. There was one female guard who’s brother was also a guard. Surprisingly despite being a Nazi and my grandmother a Polish Jew, he had developed a bit of a ‘thing’ for my grandmother. She was extremely pretty and incredibly kind-hearted (and remained so until she passed away in 2003.) However he was removed from the camp to go to the frontline to fight the allies, he lost his life in no time. His sister, one of the worst female guards, was absolutely inconsolable. Luckily she then began being so nice to my grandmother because she knew her brother had been falling in love with her. She took my grandmother into an office and had a heart-to-heart conversation with her. She said now you’re my only connection to my brother and that she wasn’t gonna disregard his feelings even though he was now dead. From then on until liberation, this female guard made sure my grandmother got extra food, less extreme work, even gave her her own chocolate from time to time! She set my grandmother up with the work detail of feeding all the camp guards- each dog was fed an entire cooked chicken each time and my grandmother would eat as much meat as she could get away with and gave the dogs just a tiny amount of meat and mostly just bones! In giving her this job to do each day, that guard effectively contributed towards my grandmother surviving the concentration camp. I often wonder what would have happened to her after the war had ended. It’s a shame I never asked my grandmother for her name as I’d love to write to her family.

[@RyanZacharko]

As I read through the middle where the female Nazi guard was being nice after being a total shot head to her, I’m like “sweet Mary and Joseph talk about redemption!” I’m actually happy when Nazis like that female guard turned her life around but some people are unfortunately not as forgiving as other as the non-forgiving people alway say “once a Nazi, always a Nazi.” Despite the fact that there’d not really much evil Nazis. Need I say more?

[@jessicamilestone4026]

The change in behaviour that, that female camp guard underwent is remarkable, Lee. Nobody, your grandmother included, should have had to endure the pure evil of that era and place. Bless your grandmother. I hope she was able to lead a happy, fulfilling life after the war. 🕊. Peace be with you and your family.

My grandmother passed away 20 years ago 2 months ago actually. She was 76 when she went. I inherited all her horrendous stories which is why I always go into such detail when discussing the Holocaust as she raised me as her own son so I mustn’t allow these stories to be forgotten too.

[@leeriches8841]

@@Brian-ux3jx yes she did. Because all she was given to eat in the concentration camp was 1 loaf of mouldy bread a week and ‘soup’ which was basically just warm water with a few vegetables inside it- she said it had no taste. So yeah she did starve the dogs as people around her were dropping dead like flies due to malnutrition so did what she had to do to survive. If it’s consolation to you, all the dogs lived, until the Soviets liberated the camps and they took them. The Nazis were determined to kill any survivors after liberation- they actually placed explosives under the barracks where all the women slept-luckily they were spotted by the Soviets or I wouldn’t even be here today.

She should’ve been cremated the her ashes dumped in a river. She was a bad human, a cruel human and a deviant. It says something that she was one of the only women ever prosecuted and sentenced to hang from all the whole war. If I’m not mistaken, she was also the first woman executed. Those actions say a lot about what type person she was.

[@ernestclements7398]

Actually on the day of her death, she was executed first not because of the severity of her crimes, but because the British executioner, ( known for his efficiency, and compassion, for those who were to be dispatched by his hand) felt that because she was the youngest of the group scheduled to go be executed that day, she would be the most frightened, and thus the one most likely to disrupt the proceedings, that he felt should be carried out with some decorum, therefore as a kindness to her and to alleviate her fear, allowing her to die with some dignity he made the decision that she should be first. ( according to what I've read there were two women, who were executed that day in separate events, followed by several pairs of men, all of the prisoners hanged by the British, were executed in a single 2 week period, whereas the others condemned by the original trials, were executed over a period of several months ( and years)

Years ago i was visiting my hometown BONN in Germany having a coffee in a bar and watching elderly Germans passing by , and asking myself this are the people which where responsible for such a horror, and wasn't the young girl Irmgard trying twice to find a job as a nurse in a hospital and finally ended as a guard in a concentration camp. Actually at that moment in BONN i didn't found the answer! Years later during the ISIS crisis where regularly young innocent teenagers went by the hundreds/thousands without even telling their parents, to join ISIS and many of them committing the most horrific crimes we have ever seen, i understood and my hair started to crawl, it's Propaganda and can we believe growing up in NAZI GERMANY, brainwashed to the finest as a young person , was explaining everything! Possibly Irmgard snapped and blamed the Jews for her misery and what followed was a absolute catastrophe for herself! Looking at pictures when she became a guard , a lovely looking young girl, and just a few year's later before she was executed, showing a different, elderly woman, explained most probably the real story behind her downfall! I don't want to excuse Irmgard Grese , especially when they where thousands like her, and possibly even worse, but still my Question exists if we where living or growing up at her time, we where better people or better NAZIS? We where not committing crimes like her ? Who knows ? I can only hope her murdered victims have forgiven her and her soul has found peace, and hopefully we all learned out of it, never to happen again!

Not every Holocaust victim just laid there tamely. The inmates of the Treblinka death camp actually revolted and destroyed the camp.

If the inmates of Bergen-Belsen had revolted when Ms. Nazi Mean Girl was there, I doubt that many of them would have survived. Nazi ideology is indescribably psycho and paranoid, so there was a system of thousands of people behind Irma who would have responded to a revolt or the death of a camp guard with ruthless terror.

@Paul Combee , There's a book that was written, called "Hitler's Willing Executioners". The Nazis went to great lengths to hide the extent of the Holocaust from even their own people. So, for example, with the T4 Euthanasia program, where they exterminated handicapped children, the Nazis would lie to the child's parents and tell them that the child had been diagnosed with a disease during a required health exam. The parents would then be told that the child was going to a sanitarium for treatment of that disease, and the child would be gassed. Then the Nazis would fill out a fake death certificate stating that the child had died of the false disease and been cremated. There's research on this stuff all over the internet.

The punishment pit was constructed in such a way that the person put in there was unable to sit or kneel so it must have been agonising for them . No one was allowed to take photos of the camp . I visited the war cemetery at Kanchanaburi. I saw hundreds of allied graves marked unknown. Ironically the place was living with Japanese tourists. Some seemed unbothered by what they saw there .

Beauty comes from within…apparently she had evil within!

Thanks for sharing this.

Well in Germany most graves are eventually removed and disposed of once no one pays the rent of the site

Yeah, they handle things differently.

Is there a way to translate this to English?
