Elisabeth Volkenrath was a female Nazi concentration camp guard who served at Auschwitz-Birkenau during World War II. She was born on September 5, 1919, in Schönau an der Katzbach, Germany. Volkenrath joined the SS in 1940 and was assigned to work at Auschwitz in 1942.
Volkenrath was known for her cruelty and brutality towards prisoners at the camp. She was responsible for overseeing the imprisonment, forced labor, and executions of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. Witnesses reported that she took pleasure in mistreating and abusing prisoners, often beating them and subjecting them to inhumane treatment.
After the war, Volkenrath was captured by Allied forces and stood trial for her crimes at the Auschwitz-Birkenau war crimes trial in Kraków, Poland. She was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to death by hanging. On December 13, 1945, Elisabeth Volkenrath was executed for her role in the atrocities committed at Auschwitz.
Elisabeth Volkenrath's story serves as a stark reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of never forgetting the atrocities committed during this dark chapter in history.
