Une étude
publiée récemment par le gouvernement du Québec révèle que, chaque
année au Québec, seulement 300 000 femmes reconnaissent être un
mauvais père
Juana Bormann was a murderous SS
woman, who served in the deathcamp Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. She was known
as Thewoman with the dogs, who took sadistic pleasure in
setting her wolfhounds on prisoners to tear them to pieces.
Juana Bormann joined the SS as a civilian employee on March 1, 1938, because -
as she later said during The Belsen Trial - I could earn more money ..
After World War 2 Juana Bormann was found guilty and convicted of war
crimes and the execution was set for December 13, 1945. In his book of memoirs,
Executioner, the English hangman Albert Pierrepoint described Juana
Bormann's last hours. The afternoon before execution each prisoner was weighed
so the correct drop could be calculated for them:
"She limped down the corridor looking old and haggard. She was forty-two years
old, only a little over five feet high .. she was trembling as she was put on
the scale. In German she said: I have my feelings .."
In April 1943 the Nazis created
Bergen-Belsen in Lower Saxony near the city of Celle as a transit center -
Bergen-Belsen was never officially given formal concentration camp status. But
the second commandant, SS-Hauptsturmführer Josef Kramer, completed the
transformation of Bergen-Belsen into a regular concentration camp.
The notorious Herta Bothe became a camp guard and soon acquired a reputation
as a sadist who beat prisoners without mercy. She had a good time shooting at
weak female prisoners carrying food containers from the kitchen to the block
with her pistol. And she often beat sick girls with a wooden stick.
On April 15, 1945, the British army liberated Bergen-Belsen. However, it was
unable to rescue the inmates. On that liberation day the British found 10,000
unburied corpses and 40,000 sick and dying prisoners. Among the 40,000 living
inmates, 28,000 died after the liberation. The inmates were abandoned in
Bergen-Belsen by the Germans, left behind for death to come.
After the war Herta Bothe was charged with having committed war crimes. At the
Bergen-Belsen Trial she got imprisonment for 10 years.
During World War II Irma Grese was
the most notorious of the female Nazi war criminals. She was born on October
7, 1923, to a agricultural family and left school in 1938 at the age of 15.
She worked on a farm for six months, then in a shop and later for two years in
a hospital. Then she was sent to work at the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp.
She became a camp guard at the age of 19, and in March 1943 she was
transferred to Auschwitz. She rose to the rank of Senior SS-Supervisor in the
autumn of 1943, in charge of around 30,000 women prisoners, mainly Polish and
Hungarian Jews. This was the second highest rank that SS female concentration
camp pesonnel could attain.
After the war survivors provided extensive details of murders, tortures,
cruelties and sexual excesses engaged in by Irma Grese during her years at
Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. They testified to her acts of pure sadism,
beatings and arbitrary shooting of prisoners, savaging of prisoners by her
trained and half starved dogs, to her selecting prisoners for the gas
chambers.
She habitually wore heavy boots and carried a whip and a pistol. She used both
physical and emotional methods to torture the camp's inmates and enjoyed
shooting prisoners in cold blood. She beat some of the women to death and
whipped others mercilessly using a plaited whip.
In her hut was found the skins of three inmates that she had had made into
lamp shades.
In January, 1945, she returned to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp before being
transferred to Bergen-Belsen in March.
After the Kommandant of Bergen-Belsen, Josef Kramer, Irma Grese was the most
notorious defendant in the Belsen Trial, held between September 17 and
November 17, 1945. Grese was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. She was
executed on December 13, 1945.
During World War 2 the
infamous Ilse Koch was known as the Bitch of Buchenwald for her bestial
cruelty and sadistic behavior. She was the wife of Karl Koch, the Kommandant
of Buchenwald, and struck fear into the inmates daily. She was especially fond
of riding her horse through the camp, whipping any prisoner who attracted her
attention.
Her hobby was collecting lampshades, book covers, and gloves made from the
skins of specially murdered concentration camp inmates, and shrunken human
skulls.
Ilse Koch would specially select prisoners with distinctive tattoos on her
rides around the camp. These prisoners would be killed and their skin tanned
and stored for later use by the SS guards.
Her taste for collecting lampshades made from the tattooed skins was
described by a witness at The Nuremberg Trials after the war:
"The finished products (i.e. tattooed skin detached from corpses) were turned
over to Koch's wife, who had them fashioned into lampshades and other
ornamental household articles .."
In the book Sidelights on the Koch Affair by Stefan Heymann the author
pointed out that the fact, that the Kochs had lamps made of human skin did not
distinguish them from the other SS officers. They had the same artworks
made for their family homes:
"It is more interesting that Frau Koch had a lady's handbag made out of the
same material. She was just as proud of it as a South Sea island woman would
have been about her cannibal trophies .. "
Ilse Koch was tried by an American military tribunal in 1947, found guilty of
murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. But her sentence was reduced to
four years and she was soon released.
Rearrested in 1949, Ilse Koch was tried before a West German court for the
killing of German nationals, and on January 15, 1951, she was sentenced to
life imprisonment for murder.
She committed suicide in a Bavarian prison on September 1, 1967.
The sadistic SS-Oberaufseherin
Maria Mandel was born at Munzkirchen in Austria in January 1912 and joined the
SS in 1938. From October 1938 to May 1939 she was Aufseherin at KZ Lichtenburg
and then from May 1939 to October 1942 she was Aufseherin in KZ Ravensbrück.
She was then transferred as an Oberaufseherin to KZ Auschwitz where she worked
until November 30, 1944. She was moved on to KZ Mühldorf where she continued
until May 1945.
Her arrest came on August 10, 1945. She was reported to be highly intelligent
and dedicated to her work. The prisoners however, referred to her as the beast
as she was noted for her brutality and enjoyment in selecting women and
children for the gas chambers. Soon she had become the feared chief-guard of
Birkenau women's camp.
She also had a passion for classical music and encouraged the women's
orchestra in Auschwitz. The women of the orchestra were kept busy playing at
roll-calls, and they had to play when new arrivals were sent directly to the
gas chambers. They also had to play during the selections when the less
healthy and sick were separated from the healthier ones who were still capable
to work yet another day.
An Auschwitz prisoner, Lucia Adelsberger, later described it in her book
Auschwitz: Ein Tatsachenbericht:
"The women who came back from work exhausted had to march in time to the
music. Music war ordered for all occasions, for the addresses of the Camp
Commanders, for the transports and whenever anybody was hanged .."
The trial of the staff who had been captured took place at Crakow in Poland in
the Autumn of 1947 and concluded on December 22 of that year. For her share in
the selections for the gas chambers and medical experiments and for her
torture of countless prisoners, Maria Mandel was condemned to death as a war
criminal by the Supreme People's Court in Crakow and executed.
At Auschwitz extermination was conducted
on an industrial scale with several million persons eventually killed through
gassing, starvation, shooting, and burning.
Dr. Herta Oberheuser killed children with oil and evipan injections, then
removed their limbs and vital organs. The time from the injection to death was
between three and five minutes, with the person being fully conscious until
the last moment.
She made some of the most gruesome and painful medical experiments during
World War 2, focused on deliberately inflicting wounds on the subjects. In
order to simulate the combat wounds of German soldiers fighting in the war,
Herta Oberheuser rubbed foreign objects, such as wood, rusty nails, slivers of
glass, dirt or sawdust into the wounds.
After WW2, in October 1946, the Nuremberg Medical Trial began, lasting until
August of 1947. Twenty-tree German physicians and scientists were accused of
performing vile and potentially lethal medical experiments on concentration
camps inmates and other living human subjects between 1933 and 1945. Fifteen
defendants were found guilty, and eight were acquitted. Of the 15, seven were
given the death penalty and eight imprisoned.
Herta Oberheuser was the only female defendant in the medical trial. She
received a 20 year sentence but was released in April 1952 and became a family
doctor at Stocksee in Germany. Her license to practice medicine was revoked in
1958.
Woman Faces Kidnaping Charges After Allegedly Paying Two Boys for a Lawn Job
With Fake $50 Bill
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. Aug 17, 2005
— A woman faces two counts of kidnapping after allegedly
paying two boys for a lawn job with a fake $50 bill, then holding them hostage
when they caught on.
Tracy Lynn Clinton, 39, remained in the Eastern Regional Jail on Wednesday,
where she has been held on $12,500 bail since her arrest Monday. Police say
she has no known address.
Martinsburg Patrolman E.C. Neely said Wednesday the victims were two slightly
built boys, ages 12 and 13, who told investigators they were terrorized by
Clinton. She allegedly screamed at them, threatened physical violence and
exhibited bizarre behavior that included publicly urinating on a fence.
The boys told police they had been cutting lawns around Martinsburg when they
saw Clinton sitting on a porch. She offered to pay $30 but said she needed
change for what turned out to be a fake $50 bill.
The boys did the job, but questioned the currency. Clinton allegedly talked
them into going with her to another location, then made them wait for more
than an hour and threatened to harm them if they tried to leave.
Neely said Clinton punched one child in the back when he finally ran away, but
neither boy was seriously injured. If convicted, Clinton could get life in prison on the kidnapping charges and
as much as a year in prison on the counterfeit bill charge. She also faces two counts of failing to appear in court for unrelated
incidents.
LEESBURG, Fla. --
Eyewitnesses said a Lake County mother took her baby
into a bar and, when she was told to leave, she went out to her car and passed
out with the baby inside.
Customers at the Shamrock Lounge said Holly Bacon was so out of it that they
were able to take her baby and his carrier out of the back seat without her
even noticing. They called it outrageous, while police called it neglect.
"She came in and the bartender told her to leave. She had an infant in the
carrier," said eyewitness Lucy Sandstedt.
The young mother walked right back outside. The bartender said the woman
already seemed drunk.
"How'd she drive here? That's the thing that amazes me, she was lucky and the
baby, this is a terrible risk for a baby," said bar owner Katie Zuccaro.
But it was not nearly as risky as what they saw next. Forty minutes later,
Linda Herald was on her way out of the bar when she noticed the mother and
baby inside a white car.
"I was petrified, because it's hot and here's a baby in the car and mother
passed out," said Herald.
The bartender called 911 while customers took the baby out of the car, carrier
and all. They said Bacon never woke up.
"The fact that she just slept through that entire event, if that child was in
any kind of trouble at all, it's pretty obvious she wouldn't have been aware
of it," said Captain Steve Rockefeller, Leesburg Police Department.
Police arrested her for child neglect, finding an empty beer can next to an
empty baby bottle in the car. Bacon's parents are already caring for her older
son. Now they have her baby as well.
"She's an excellent mother, it's just her company. She's got some sleazy
company and I don't know how to get her away from 'em," said Jim Bacon, the
suspect's father.
Police said Bacon was also on prescription medication for seizures, which
could have strengthened the effect of the alcohol. She was booked in the Lake
County jail on $5,000 bond.
