Ilse Goeritz was an SS guard at several concentration camps and subcamps during the World War II.

Ilse was born in 1922 somwhere in Germany. Neither her date of birth nor her place of birth are known today. In 1943, the young woman came to Ravensbruck and trained to be a camp guard. Eventually the SS Aufseherin impressed her supervisors so much they promoted her to Kommandofuhrerin (Work Detail Leader). Eventually Ilse paved a trail of terror to the Neubrandenburg subcamp located near the Baltic Sea in Germany. There she was known as a cruel guard, without mercy or compassion in her dealings with the inmates. Barth, a Ravensbruck subcamp located on the Baltic Sea in north-central Germany, was her last job site. There she continued her brutality. In April 1945, with the approach of the Allied Armies, Ilse fled the camp. Sometime after the war, an East German court, under the guidance of Communist Russia gave the former SS supervisor a sentence of life imprisonment for the maltreatment and murder of prisoners between 1943 and 1945. She later died in prison.
