He never answered. Elizabeth Becker was 22 years old when she stood trial for selecting at least 30 women for the gas chamber at Stutthof — the first concentration camp built on Polish soil. She served only 4 months and 10 days. It was enough to hang her. But the court that convicted her did something it did for no one else in that trial: it asked for mercy. This is the story of the file that never got a signature, and the president who let 11 people hang in front of thousands rather than explain why.
