Hildegard Neumann

Hildegard Neumann was a chief overseer at a Nazi concentration camp and at a transi/detention camp during the last year of World War II.

Hildegard Neumann was born in Gabel , Germany in 1919. In October 1944 she went to the Ravensbrück concentration camp where she became an Oberaufseherin (Chief Wardress) soon after. Because of her good conduct, the Nazis sent her to the Theresienstadt camp and ghetto in Czechoslovakia in November as head female overseer. In the camp Hildegard was known as cruel female guard. The beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed women oversaw ten to thirty female overseers and over 20,000 female Jewish prisoners. Hildegard also aided the Germans in deporting more than 40,000 women and children from the camp to Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen camps where most were killed. The tasks of the female overseers in Theresienstadt was to guard women prisoners at work on "labor kommandos," during transports to other camps, and in the ghetto itself. Most were cruel and abusive, especially Caecilia Rojko whom was nicknamed, the "Prisoners Fright." Hildegard fled the camp in May 1945 and was never prosecuted for war crimes, even though more than 100,000 Jews were deported from Theresienstadt and were murdered or died, and 55,000 died in the camp itself.
