From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elisabeth Max was an SS guard at several concentration camps from 1944 until April 1945.

Elisabeth Palwitz was born in Hoerde (now Dortmund), Germany, on December 20, 1909. In 1944 she applied with the camp offices in Dortmund, and they sent her to Ravensbruck to undergo overseer training. Soon after the well seasoned wardress went to Buchenwald to continue her cruelty towards the camps women. Eventually Elisabeth served in the Buchenwald subcamp in Dortmund, her home town. She was never captured and tried for her crimes.
