Abstract:
Discusses accounts of Danz's sadism as an SS guard at Majdanek, Płaszów, Auschwitz, and Malchow (a sub-camp of Ravensbrück). Danz (1917-2009) was arrested in Poland in 1945, and at her trial in 1947 was sentenced to life imprisonment, but she was released in 1957 due to an amnesty. She returned to live in Germany. In 1996, she was tried before a German court for the alleged murder of a teenager in the Malchow concentration camp, but her lawyer had doctors testify that she was too old to be able to withstand court proceedings and the charge was dropped.
