One of the most terrible concentration camps of the Second World War was Stutthof, which opened almost straight after the Germans invaded Poland. Inside the camp, disease spread very quickly and the prisoners were guarded over by a number of terrifying guards including a number of female guards who were known for their brutality and evil. One of those women that treated the prisoners awfully was Ewa Paradies, who was notorious within the prisoner population. Ewa Paradies was brought to Stutthof late in the war as many women were drafted there to oversee the inmates. But on a daily basis she would beat inmates, and torture them horrifically. She forced many to stand outside in the cold and threw freezing cold water at them. But after the war she was sentenced to death at the Stutthof Trials, and on a huge hill in Gdansk she was executed on a huge gallows in front of 20,000 people.
