What were some of the accusations against Irma Grese, and why was she nicknamed the "Hyena of Auschwitz" in WW2 history?

Irma Grese, a female SS guard at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps during World War II, was notorious for her cruelty towards prisoners, leading to her nickname “the Hyena of Auschwitz.” Grese was accused of numerous heinous acts during her time at the camps.


One of the accusations against Irma Grese was her active participation in the selection process upon the arrival of new prisoners at Auschwitz. She was known to arbitrarily send individuals to gas chambers based on her own judgment, often targeting the weak, elderly, and children. Grese showed no mercy or remorse in carrying out these selections, earning her a reputation for being particularly ruthless.

Additionally, Grese was implicated in numerous instances of physical and psychological abuse towards prisoners. Witnesses testified to her engaging in brutal beatings, shootings, and even setting dogs on defenseless inmates. Her sadistic nature and enjoyment of inflicting suffering on others earned her the nickname “the Hyena of Auschwitz” among both prisoners and fellow guards.

Furthermore, Irma Grese was accused of using her position of power to sexually exploit male prisoners. She would often force them to engage in sexual acts under threat of violence or death, further demonstrating her depravity and lack of humanity.

Grese’s behavior extended beyond her interactions with prisoners, as she was also known for her participation in medical experiments conducted on inmates at Auschwitz. These experiments were often torturous and resulted in the suffering and deaths of many individuals, highlighting Grese’s willingness to partake in atrocities without hesitation.

Overall, Irma Grese’s actions at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen were characterized by extreme cruelty, sadism, and a complete disregard for human life. The accusations against her paint a picture of a woman who took pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering on others, solidifying her place in history as one of the most infamous female perpetrators of the Holocaust.

The Good Man of Nanking

To understand the formation of the current situation and look for possible solution to the future, it is crucial to know the history between the three countries, especially the past hundred years. Besides, out of my curiosity for my well-respected grandfather, who was previously a general in Republic of China while it still represented the entire China, I want to learn the truth of the second Sino-Japanese war during WWII, which lasted eight years and caused millions of deaths. During the war, the most disputed tragedy was the “Nanking Massacre” and it is still a unresolved dilemma between Chinese and Japanese people as well as the government. From Wikipedia: “Nanking Massacre was an episode of mass murder and...
