Else Lieschen Frida "Elsa" Ehrich (8 March 1914 – 26 October 1948) was a German convicted war criminal who acted as a female camp guard in Nazi concentration camps, including at Kraków-Płaszów and the Majdanek concentration camp during World War II. She was tried in Lublin, Poland at the Majdanek Trials and sentenced to death for war crimes. Ehrich was hanged on 26 October 1948.[1]
She was an Oberaufseherin of the women's section at Majdanek,[2] and took active part in all the major selections to the gas chambers and executions. She maltreated prisoners, including children. Her assistant was Hermine Braunsteiner, who was later denaturalized and deported from the United States back to Germany.[3]
