The Hyena of Auschwitz: The Crimes of Irma Grese, the beautiful beast of Auschwitz

Her sister Helena’s memoirs suggest that Grese’s life was changed by the things such as SS, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi part, Ravensbruck, etc. The effects brought by the Belsen Trial, Bergen-Belsen camps, training at Ravensbruck, days at Hohenlychen, etc. in Irma Grese’s life are not trivial. This book elaborates on the factors she was involved in during the war mentioned above. It gives readers an idea of what led to her transformation, as well as her main background, World War II and the Holocaust. Through this, you can also understand her personality type ESTJ.

Because she was a demonic face of the brutality of war crimes, she had famous nicknames like “The Beautiful Beast”, “The Hyena of Auschwitz”, and “The Beast of Belson”. “The Hyena of Auschwitz” was the adjective the inmates gave her for the cruel ways she treated prisoners.

Irma Ilse Ida Grese was hanged when she was just 22 years old.
