On July 4, 1946, eleven guards of the
Stutthof concentration camp were
publicly hanged for what was described
as "sadistic abuse of prisoners." Among
those hanged were five women: Gerda
Steinhoff, Wanda Klaff, Jenny-Wanda
Barkmann, Ewa Paradies and Elisabeth
Becker, all of whom had been judged
and sentenced during the first Stutthof
Trial, at Gdańsk between April 25 and
May 31, 1946.
