Category: Female Nazi Guards
Irene Haschke was born on 16th February 1921 in Friedeberg, then part of the German Empire. She became a member of The League of German Girls which was the female section of Hitler Youth. This official youth organization of the Nazi Party in Germany indoctrinated young people with Nazi racial ideology and managed to turn a generation of German kids, such as Irene Haschke, into Nazis. On February 28 1945 she arrived in Bergen Belsen.
Here, she supervised a wood Kommando working outside the camp and then she started to work in the kitchen. After Bergen Belsen’s liberation, Irene Haschke was captured by the British forces. She was tried at the Belsen Trial which began on the 17 of September 1945.
The British Military tribunal found Irene Haschke guilty and sentenced her to 10 years imprisonment. Unlike Irma Grese, she avoided the death sentence and, at the end, spent only 5 years in prison until she was released in December, 1951. Nothing more is known about her later life.

Even though the subject is very sad and terrifying this is an excellent video. The video footage and pictures went along very well with the narration. You have done a spectacular job with these videos and I plan to share them with others. Thank you for doing your part to preserve history.

Excellent well researched documentary. I highly recommend it. I learned more about Anne and Margot in this video than I have in reading about them.
