The Bitch of Buchenwald

This documentary details the life and crimes of Ilse Koch, the Nazi woman who became notorious for her monstrous crimes against the prisoners of Buchenwald concentration camp, where her husband was a commander. Accused of embezzlement by her fellow Nazis during the war, Koch faced charges brought by three separate tribunals -- and grisly accusations that she collected the tattooed skin of murdered inmates.
