Elfriede Mohnecke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elfriede Hildegard Mohnecke was a guard at two Nazi camps.

She was born in Dorschen, East Prussia, Germany, on March 2, 1922. On October 12, 1944 she arrived at Ravensbrück to begin overseer training under Dorothea Binz. In November the SS sent her as an Aufseherin to the Uckermark extermination complex down the road from Ravensbrück. She served in the camp until the liberation in April 1945. At the third Ravensbrück Trial, the former SS woman was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for the maltreatment of concentration camp prisoners. Elfriede Hildegard Mohnecke was released after serving only five years.
