When we talk about atrocities committed under the Nazi regime, for you, what are the first names that come in head, huh? Joseph Mengeley of Hitler himself. But what if I tell you that a woman was as cruel as them, huh? Do you believe? So it is.
So I will present to you from now on the story of Maria Mandel, one of the most bloodthirsty from around the third she was directly responsible for the death of fur less than half a million people. It is simply scary. Do you want to know What did she do with people? So don’t even blink and stay with me until end of the video. The origin of a murderer.
Well, let’s go start telling Maria’s story Mandel. As incredible as it may seem, the beginning of her trajectory doesn’t go far what could be called normal, right? She was born on January 10, 1912 in Mkirschen, a small town that at the time it was part of the empire Austro-Hungarian. Nothing in your first years of life indicated that that girl would become one of the most feared figures of the Nazi system.
Your family doesn’t she was rich. In fact, he led a life simple, typical of layers workers in the region. His father was shoemaker, a modest but honest, which guaranteed the sustenance of the home. Maria only attended school primary school and, still young, managed to get a employment at the Austrian Post Office. It was a predictable routine, without great ambitions or signs of violence.
This reality It went on like this for years. Until 1938, Maria Mandel’s life seemed to walk within almost normality impediment. But that year a single event would change everything, not just life hers, but that of everyone who lived in the Austria at that time. Maria Mandel was 26 years old when Adolf Hitler, Austrian by birth, returned triumphant to his homeland.
The annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in a episode that would become known as Angelos, was celebrated by crowds in streets of Vienna. Flags, speeches inflamed, applause, shouts of support took over the city. Among those enthusiastic people There she was, Maria Mandel herself. In that context, it is important to understand that many did not see Nazism as a threat.
For a population marked by economic crises, due to unemployment and much political instability, the regime appeared as a promise of recovery, of national greatness and, mainly, of belonging. For many, it seemed like a chance to make part of something bigger. If months later of this event that transformed the country, Maria Mandel left Austria and followed there to Munich.
Shortly afterwards, already in October came its first official designation. She was named guard at the concentration camp Lenberburg. It was the beginning of a new chapter and without that she knew, or perhaps knowing very well, right, that was where your transformation would begin. The school of torturers. What was Lenberg’s structure like? Well, as strange as it may be opinion, the concentration camp was installed inside a castle, a place which in other times could symbolize power, history and ended up becoming scenario of pain and suffering. Listenberg
was marked as one of the first Nazi concentration camps, a true initial laboratory of repression that would come later. Between 1937 and 1939, the camp exclusively housed female prisoners. There, many of them were kept in inhumane conditions, subjected to a routine of humiliation constant, arbitrary punishments and physical violence.
According to testimonies documented during the post-war trials, the Maria Mandel’s specialty in Ltenberg was very clear and scary. She ordered the prisoners to be naked, tied the girls to poles wood and beat his victims without any mercy. The blows continued until they couldn’t do it anymore raise your arms. Look, many sometimes fainting from pain and exhaustion.
Maria was only 26 years old and at that time point had already found satisfaction bizarre in its cruelty. Then, in 1939, Mandel was transferred to another structure, also dedicated to imprison and victimize women, the camp of Ravensb concentration. The site had more than 3,000 guards feminine throughout its entire existence and about 130,000 prisoners passing by.
When the camp was liberated, less than 40,000 women had survived. O treatment imposed on inmates was brutal. And it was in Ravensburg that Mary Mandel really perfected his torture methods. The field worked in practice as a kind of school of torturers. Many guards were trained there to later be promoted and transferred to other structures in the Nazi system.
Commander was not different. She stood out quickly by brutality and efficiency with who applied terror. In 1941, Maria officially joined the Nazi Party. The following year another promotion came. She was appointed senior supervisor. Now, his responsibilities went far beyond of direct violence. Mandel went on to control the work assignments of guards under your command, lead calls from endless areas where prisoners were held for hours and hours exposed to cold and also to hunger.
Apply punishments such as beatings, such as whipping, in addition to selecting women for medical experiments completely inhumane. Records show a rapid rise and constant within the hierarchy of Nazi terror. But believe me, despite all this, his real career was still just starting. Arrival at Auschwitz. Well, the Second World War began in September 1939, right? As we know, the conflict had beginning precisely with the German invasion of territory of Poland.
From there, the Nazi war machine entered into fully functioning. So it was just a matter of time before the Hitler’s commands began to establish structures similar to those of Havelsbrook in occupied territories. Correct? In fact, they were very in addition. In May 1940, the Nazis began the construction of a vast network of fields and subfields in Poland busy.
The main and most infamous complex would be Auschwitz, divided into Auschwitvitz 1, Auschovitz Burkenal and Auschovitz Monovitz. More than 1 million people died in this complex. Hunger, illnesses, beatings, work forced, torture, medical experiments and, mainly, the gas chambers. All types of war crimes were committed there. This on an industrial scale.
And Maria Mandel was directly involved in this system of death. She was transferred to Auschwitz in 1942, precisely when the complex was already operating their extermination mechanisms in full capacity. Mary was placed in the position of chief supervisor of the fields and feminine subfields, a position of enormous power within that structure.
In practice, this meant that she controlled the lives and deaths of thousands and thousands of women. Mandel supervised guards, commanded punishments, conducted calls endless and actively participated of the elections that determined who would remain alive and who would be sent to gas chambers.
Basically she just reported to Rudolf Hus, the commander of the entire Achovitz complex. Including, we have a very interesting video here on the channel, okay? In which we better explains its role within the field and what was his fate after the war. It’s worth checking out too, okay? Maria Mandel in Action, a true catalog of tortures.
According to several testimonies from survivors, one of Maria’s favorite practices Mandel was to take a stand strategically next to the gate Burkn entry. From there she observes the prisoners while they were led into the field. All it took was one mistake minimum, a direct look, a second to more hesitation.
The women who dared to raise their eyes in the direction were immediately removed from the queues and after that they were never views. And believe me, that was far away to be the worst. Newborn babies, children just a few months old were frequently murdered. Some were drowned, others burned alive in crematoriums. Childhood simply didn’t exist in that place.
Maria Mandel too preyed on pregnant women. The simple suspicion of pregnancy was enough for a death sentence. Joseph Claire, a self-proclaimed doctor and boss of the SS disinfection command in Alchovitz, was responsible for executing these women with phenol injections applied directly to the heart. And under Whose orders did this happen, huh? Who do you imagine? Yes, Maria Mandel.
She beat prisoners for the minor infractions. Something so simple how much to curl your hair, for example, it was considered a violation serious of the rules of the field. If Mandel found a single curl outside the standard, the prisoner was dropped onto the ground and had his head violently beaten, often until she lost her consciousness.
In some cases, Mary I had my head shaved completely of the victims and forced them to parade through the field with a sign hanging on the neck where it read. I broke the rules and I curled my hair. Look what madness. It was public humiliation calculated made to serve as an example to the others. In the summer of 1943, when a group of approximately 500 women returned from work in warehouses known as Canada, local where the belongings of the deportees were separated and classified, Mandel ordered that every tenth woman was whipped. The prisoners were
removed from the queues in front of all others. Dozens were beaten publicly to the limit of the body. In another episode, when a prisoner gave the other an extra portion of soup, Maria Mandel poured the boiling liquid over the woman’s head and whipped her brutally. Then he sent the prisoner to an infamous block 11, known as the block of death.
There she remained for 4 months, being constantly beaten by men from SS. and by prison staff, while being forced to carry out the heavier work in the field. In December 1944, a prisoner accidentally bumped into in Maria Mandel, in the country streets, even apologizing immediately. A punishment came without hesitation.
Seven nights in a cell where it was impossible to lie down. The woman was forced to remain standing throughout the night and exhausted during the day, I still had to work in the kitchen. These are just some examples, okay? Mandel too actively participated in the selections that decided which women would be sent to the gas chambers.
was responsible for endless daily calls, which prisoners stayed for hours exposed to intense cold, often without suitable clothing. Anyway, it’s practically impossible for me to gather here all these atrocities in one video. Maria Mandel was directly involved in the system that led to the death of at least 500,000 people.
Believe or not, that was the extent of the horror. But yet another remarkable episode involving Auschovic and Maria Mandel. And It is about him that you will find out more follow. First, let’s breathe a little, right? Leave your like on the video if subscribe to the channel and activate notifications, because from now on the content will become even more interesting. Let’s go.
The Ausvitz Women’s Orchestra. One of most remembered episodes involving Maria Mandel, happened in April 1943. And almost absurdly, it involves music. Music amid horror. Can seem contradictory, but it was exactly what happened. Despite be a cruel torturer, Maria Mandel He had a refined taste for art. She appreciated classical music and believed that it was part of a certain order within the field.
It was from of this distorted vision that she decided then create the female orchestra of Auschwitz, formed exclusively by prisoners. Women of Jewish and Slavic origin, generally young, began to be selected to join the group. Many of them were musicians before war, others learned right there by necessity.
The orchestra members received a slightly different, if that can be called that, right? They wore clothes little better, they were entitled to portions larger amounts of food and, in some cases, temporarily escaped from tasks heaviest in the field. But none of that meant freedom. That was just another form of control. The goal of the orchestra was to entertain the guards of the SS and serve as the soundtrack of the routine of the field.
The prisoners played during calls, when leaving and when return of women from forced labor and on special occasions for visitors important. The so-called angel of death, Joseph Mengele was one of the admirers of presentations. Even Heiman Rich Himler, the leader of SS, showed interest in music performed by the women’s orchestra Autos.
Thinking about this is profound bizarre and also disturbing, right? Art, beauty and sensitivity coexisting side alongside torture, humiliation and massacre. For his services to the regime, Maria Mandel received the Cross of Merit from second class war. It was a reward official for its efficiency within the Nazi system.
The following year, she would be transferred once again, now for Murdof, a subfield belonging to the Dar complex. The trail of violence which is the trail of violence that she the load was still far from arriving in the background. Going to Germany. Well, on the contrary of Auschwitz, the Dar camp was located within its own territory German.
The subfield that would receive Maria Mandel, known as Murdolf, was created with a very specific objective, provide slave labor in underground installations intended for production of Mesmit ME262, one of the main combat aircraft of the third rais. The rush to produce armaments made that the lives of prisoners were seen as completely disposable. Conditions at Murdof were simply terrible.
In the fall of 1944, SS guards began to carry out selections with increasing frequency. Sick, injured or considered too weak for work, were separated and deported in mass for the gas chambers in Auschwitz. More than half of people kept in Murdof ended up dying. Some couldn’t resist the work excessive, others were murdered in beatings, shot by guards or simply succumbed to the illnesses that spread quickly across the field.
A death was everywhere that place. Auschwitz would only be liberated two months after the transfer of Marian Mandel. She left Poland in November 1944 and the complex was reached by the army red in January 1945. At that time, the war was already clearly lost to Nazi Germany. The red army advanced quickly towards German territory.
O despair gripped those responsible through concentration camps and how usually happens at these moments, cruelty increased even more. It was a desperate attempt to erase traces, eliminate witnesses and maintain control until the last moment. In April 1945, SS guards forced around 3,600 prisoners evacuating in Murdof, in death marches.
Hungry, exhausted and weakened. Many did not survive the path. Those who fell were carried out on the side of the road. And it was in this scenario of total collapse that Maria Mandel decided to flee to the region of Alps. She believed that hiding in the mountains would be a way to escape trial for crimes committed during the war.
But she was deceived. Justice overtakes the beast. On the 10th of August 1945, Maria Mandel reappeared in her city Christmas, there in Austria, after months hiding, trying to escape the collapse of the third Rich. She returned to her place where it all began, but was no longer more welcomed as a daughter. Your own father refused to allow her enter the family home.
For him, the acts committed by Maria and the monster that she had become were simply unforgivable. Later that day, Maria Mandel was finally arrested and interrogated by American soldiers. For the first time Since the end of the war, it has ceased to be a feared authority and began to occupy the back seat.
However, it would only the following year, in 1946, that Maria would be extradited to Poland. And there was a clear reason why this. Most of your crimes had been committed in the territory Polish, especially in Auschwitz. So that’s where justice should be done. The so-called Auschwitz trial began on November 24, 1947 and lasted for about a month.
Survivors went up to the court to report what they had experienced. Testimonials hard times marked by pain, fear and memories that would never disappear. Documents were presented, evidence gathered and the true dimension of the crimes came to light before the court and of the world. On December 22, 1947, the verdict was announced.
The Court National Supreme Court of Poland, meeting in Krakow, sentenced Maria Mandel to death by hanging. There was no doubt regarding his guilt. A few days before the execution, Maria even demonstrated signs of remorse. According to reports, she would have asked forgiveness from a former prisoner who testified against her during the judgment, but at that point it was already too late for any kind of repentance.
The countless lives destroyed by their decisions, by the teams he commanded and the terror that spread, could never be returned. Justice finally reached one of the cruelest figures in the Nazi system. The end of Maria Mandel. We then arrived now on January 24, 1948. Maria Mandel, then 36 years old, is executed.
The sentence handed down weeks before it was served in the prison of Mantelupt, in Krakow. The records They say that Maria maintained a posture contained until the end. wore simple clothes and walked to the place of execution, without no type of resistance. Little left of the woman who exercised power absolute over thousands of prisoners.
At that moment, she was just another condemned before the courts. The execution was carried out by focusing, method standard applied to war criminals sentenced during that period. With this, officially ended his career and life of one of the cruelest figures in Nazi [music] system. Maria Mandel had followed all the rules of the regime, obeyed orders, was promoted, received decorations and was considered efficient within the logic of the third rais.
For the [music] system, she worked exactly as it should and inside this gear was directly involved in a process that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Your story forces us to face a truth deeply uncomfortable. It wasn’t just cartoonish monsters that committed these atrocities. [music] With the wrong ideology and with power absolute about other lives, people common people can become capable of crimes unimaginable.
Justice was served, albeit late, but the innocent lives that Maria Mandel helped destroy [song] ever can be recovered. And it is precisely That’s why these stories need be remembered. And that’s precisely why, people, these stories need to be remembered. We have reached the end of the video today.
