On
this date, July 4, 1946, eleven guards of the Stutthof
concentration camp were publicly hanged for what was described as
"sadistic abuse of prisoners." Among
those hanged were five women: Gerda Steinhoff, Wanda Klaff, Jenny-Wanda
Barkmann, Ewa Paradies and
Elisabeth Becker, all of whom had been
judged and sentenced during the first Stutthof Trial, at Gdańsk between April
25 and May 31, 1946.
