Elisabeth Koorn
Elisabeth Koorn was a female Dutch SS woman at three concentration camps during World War II.
Elisabeth (Gisberta) Koorn was born in Rotterdam, Holland on April 1, 1923 or April 8, 1923. She later married a German man and became Elisabeth Huese. In 1944, special permission was attained from the concentration camp offices in Oranienburg for her to become an "employee of the Reich." The Nazis sent her to Vught to be trained and serve as an Aufseherin. In May 1944, when the camp was evacuated, the SS sent Elisabeth to serve as an overseer at the Ravensbruck camp near Berlin. She stayed there until the SS assigned her to the Neubrandenburg subcamp north of Ravensbruck. Elisabeth was a sadistic Dutch SS woman in the camps, and has never been tried for her war crimes.
