Note: On October 5, 1945, during the Belsen Trial in Lüneburg, Germany, a confession by Irma Grese was read aloud by the prosecution. In this statement, Grese acknowledged that all members of the SS shared responsibility for the atrocities committed in the concentration camps. She admitted her role in the torture and deaths of prisoners, stating that she was responsible for these acts .
This confession marked a significant moment in the trial, as Grese was one of the most notorious female guards at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, often referred to by survivors as the "Beast of Belsen" and the "Hyena of Auschwitz." Her admission of guilt contributed to the prosecution's case against her and highlighted the collective responsibility of SS personnel in the Holocaust's atrocities.
