AI notes: On October 16, 1945, during the Belsen Trial, Irma Grese was present in court as the prosecution continued presenting evidence and witness testimonies against the accused. That day was part of the ongoing proceedings where former prisoners, including survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, described the brutal treatment they endured. Grese, accused of extreme cruelty and direct involvement in selections and beatings, maintained a calm and unemotional demeanor, consistent with her behavior throughout the trial. There are no verified reports that she showed emotion or cried on that specific day.
