Was Elisabeth Volkenrath Frauen antat, bevor sie neben Irma Grese hing | Doku

What Elisabeth Volkenrath did to women before she was hanged next to Irma Grese – the true story of a hairdresser who rose to become the most powerful overseer at Auschwitz. Elisabeth Volkenrath was an unskilled laborer from a Silesian forestry village. In 1941, she volunteered for service at the Ravensbrück concentration camp – trained under Dorothea Binz. Three years later, she was deciding the fate of tens of thousands of women in Auschwitz. What happened between her wedding in the camp and her death on the gallows remains largely unknown. In this video, you'll learn how a hairdresser became a chief overseer, what role she played in the selections – and why she was executed on December 13, 1945, along with Irma Grese and Johanna Bormann. ▶ Part of the playlist “The Stories Nobody Told”:    • Die Geschichten hinter der Kulisse   #ElisabethVolkenrath #IrmaGrese #WorldWarII #ThirdReich #NationalSocialism #GermanHistory #ContemporaryHistory #Documentary #HistoryDocumentary #WarHistory #NaziHistory #ChronicleOfPower #Auschwitz #BergenBelsen #HistoryYouTube
