Disturbing Facts About Ilse Koch, A Twisted Concentration Camp Guard Who Made Lampshades Out of Victims
She married a man as evil as her.
Above all else, Ilse Koch enjoyed seeing the prisoners suffer, both physically and emotionally. She would ride through the camp, taunting prisoners, and when one would dare to look up, she would brutally whip them with her riding crop. She would laugh at those who were being sent to gas chambers and her house was visible to the entire camp, as if always ominously looking down at them.
When she was selecting prisoners to be taken away to have tattoos removed, she would take her time in the selection, drawing out the prisoners' terror. Perhaps most distressingly of all, Ilse took her most sadistic pleasure in knowing children were dying. Surviving prisoners later recalled that she had always seemed the most excited when children were about to be sent to the gas chambers.
