Mrs. Ilse Koch: Nazi guard and sexual deviant
Eva, Ilse and Mr. Koch want us to come over for an orgy. |
Ilse Koch worked at Sachsenhausen as a guard and secretary.
In August 1937, Karl Otto was assigned to build a new concentration camp in Buchenwald. While he was known for his personal greed in the camps that he worked in, she was feared for her brutality.
At Buchenwald, she became known as "the witch."
She was obsessed with tattoos and used to ride her horse around the Buchenwald looking for tattooed prisoners. When she found one, she sent them to their death. But before they were killed and burned, she would cut out the part of the skin where the tattoo was located. She used to call these pieces of skin her “trophies,” as serial killers are in the habit of collecting.
She would go on to collect lampshades, book covers, as well as gloves and handbags – all made of human skin.
She shared her obsession with tattoos with Dr. Erich Wagner, allegedly her secret lover, who wanted to find the connection between tattoos and criminal tendencies.
Despite having three of her own children, she hated pregnant women and she used to beat them with a whip along the entire length of which pieces of a razor were inserted.
Koch allegedly also found pleasure in beating child inmates. She would laugh loudly when seeing them going to the gas chambers [to be deloused].
She was also a sexual deviant. She not only organized numerous orgies with SS men and their wives but also allegedly forced Jewish male prisoners to rape female prisoners in front of her.
She is said to have enjoyed walking around the camp half naked or in skimpy clothes, provoking prisoners to make eye contact with her. When they did, they were taken by the guards and shot in the head.
It was also reported that she had ordered prisoners to serve her while she was nude and enjoyed sexually humiliating the sex-starved prisoners.
In 1941, Buchenwald caught the attention of the Higher SS and Police Leader for Weimar Josias Waldeck, who in this position had supervisory authority over Buchenwald Concentration Camp.
Ilse Koch was accused of the embezzlement of over 700,000 Reichsmarks, and Karl Otto Koch was charged with both embezzlement and the unauthorized murder of three prisoners.
When it was revealed that the Kochs had used the massive Nazi apparatus to gain an enormous amount of wealth, their downfall became inevitable as all the possessions stolen from murdered Jews was regarded as the property of Hitler's Reich.

Ilse Koch was then tried at the Buchenwald trial, which began on April 11, 1947, in the internment camp of Dachau, where the former Dachau Concentration Camp had been located until late April 1945.
Out of 31 defendants, Ilse Koch was the only woman.
She was sentenced to life imprisonment, and her son Uwe, conceived while in custody, was born in October 1947.

When on Jan. 15, 1951, the court pronounced its verdict in a 111-page-long decision sentencing Ilse Koch to life imprisonment, she was not present in court.
She made several petitions for a pardon, all of which were rejected by the Bavarian Ministry of Justice.
Ilse Koch was 60 years old when she hanged herself with a bedsheet after which she was buried in an unmarked grave.
There were no tears shed for Ilse Koch.
The word holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to the Jewish God. This word was chosen because in the ultimate manifestation of the Nazi killing program — insect extermination in pestilent concentration camps — the bodies of those who died of contagious diseases were consumed whole in crematoria and open fires.
