In Berlin on January 20th, 1920, Hildegard Lachert was born. At only the age of 22 she joined the Nazi party, first as only a nurse in the camps but eventually gaining a higher role. Working at the concentration camps Ravensbruck, Auschwitz, and Majdanek, Lachert was said to be treacherously abusive toward the prisoners. As a guard on female laborers, she would constantly attack them with her German shepherd dogs. Henryka Ostrowska, a prisoner at Majdanek, said, “We always said blutige about the fact that she struck until blood showered,” about Lachert. This blood lust lead to the captives dubbing Lachert ‘Bloody Brigette’ or ‘Bloody Brygida’. Lachert’s dastardly deeds caught up with her. In 1947, she, among more than 40 other SS officers, was put on trial in the Auschwitz Trial in Poland. One witness during the trial stated, “She [Lachert] loved blood.” Though sentenced 15 years for her crimes, Lachert was released from her prison only 9 years later, in the year 1956. But Lachert couldn’t avoid prison forever as in 1975, 12 more years were added to her sentence. Leaving behind two children, Lachert died at age 75 in Berlin, the year being 1995. Her malevolent lifestyle and appalling horrors committed in the Nazi camps left her being one of the most notorious female Nazis.
