Racist

The Resume

    (September 22, 1906-September 1, 1967)
    Birth name was Ilse Kohler
    SS-Aufseherin (Overseer) at Buchenwald
    Wife of SS Man Karl Koch
    Known as the 'Bitch of Buchenwald'

Why she might be annoying:

    She killed prisoners of Buchenwald who had nice tattoos. She then used their skin to make lamp shades.
    She had human skin made into book covers and gloves.
    Her home was decorated with these things, along with shrunken heads.
    She rode her horse through the camp, whipping prisoners.
    She was obsessed with her looks and bathed in wine while prisoners starved outside.
    She was not loyal, having many affairs with men (and women).
    She sometimes stood topless at the gate of Buchenwald when new prisoners came. If any looked at her they were killed by SS guards.
    She shot prisoners for no reason.
    At trial, she claimed the Allies had framed her (never heard that one before).
    She had no remorse.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the basis for the Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS character.
    She had red hair.
    She loved riding horses and had a dog.
    She was personally chosen by Heinrich Himmler to marry Karl Koch to begin a new perfect Aryan breed.
    She was obligated to have two children with Karl (Senior Nazi Party Member rules).
    She did what she wanted after the children were born.
    She was released due to 'insufficient evidence' in 1951, but was rearrested.
    Before she committed suicide, she wrote a letter to a son.
    She is dead.
