Marie Herold was an SS guard at two concentration camps during the final chapter of World War II.
Marie was born in Zetterding , Austria on 31 July 1918. Working in a factory, the Nazis forced her to appear at the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp for basic guard training. On 15 September 1944 the reluctant woman was trained under Jane Bernigau and sent to work as an Aufseherin. Soon after she accompanied a transport of women to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany. Marie fled the camp after the death march and was never captured. Her fate remains unknown.
