Elsa Ehrich was born on 8 March 1914 in the town of Bredereiche, then part of the German Empire. The Second World War began on 1 September 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland.On 15 August 1940, Elsa Ehrich volunteered for service in the Ravensbrück concentration camp as an SS guard, becoming a part of the Nazi camp system.Ravensbrück, opened in May 1939, was the only major women's camp established by the Nazis. • In mid-October 1942, Ehrich was transferred to the Majdanek concentration camp, where she became the head female overseer in charge of the women’s camp.Although Elsa Ehrich was formally subjected directly to the camp commandant, her duties and tasks enforced close cooperation with Political Department and Prisoner Camp. Ehrich and her deputy Hermine Braunsteiner were responsible for the daily roll calls and assignment of the female prisoners to the labour groups. • In the winter of 1941-1942, Majdanek authorities began to use Zyklon B gas to murder prisoners too weak to work in a makeshift gas chamber. Mass murder operations using poison gas began at Majdanek in October 1942 and continued until the end of 1943. There appear to have been three gas chambers at Majdanek; at least two were shower rooms reconfigured for the use of Zyklon B gas. At least one of these two was used to kill human beings. The two smaller chambers could hold 150 people, the larger one 300. All three used Zyklon B and at least two could also use carbon monoxide. Elsab Ehrich took part in the selection for the gas chamber and she is believed responsible for the death of thousands of women and children. One Majdanek survivor later recalled: “To lure them, she brought cocoa and candy to the children's barracks, and a moment later the trucks showed up. Jewish children got on them smiling, still with candy in their hands. The cars drove straight to the crematorium.” • • Join World History channel and get access to benefits: • / @worldhistoryvideos • Disclaimer: All opinions and comments below are from members of the public and do not reflect the views of World History channel. • We do not accept promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on attributes such as: race, nationality, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation.
