Elsa Ehrich at the
Majdanek Trials, 1946
|
Else Lieschen Frida "Elsa" Ehrich (8 March 1914 – 26 October 1948) was an
SS guard at the Nazi concentration camps, including at Kraków-Płaszów
and the Majdanek
concentration camp during World War II. She was tried in Lublin, Poland at the Majdanek Trials and sentenced to death for
war crimes. Ehrich was hanged on 26 October 1948.
She
was an Oberaufseherin
at Majdanek, and took active part in all the major selections to the gas
chambers and executions. She maltreated prisoners, not sparing even children.
Her assistant was reportedly Hermine
Braunsteiner, who was later denaturalized and deported from the United
States back to Germany.
